That's what OpenView Operations (OVO) does.   You run an agent on the
NetBackup system to monitor all the log files and the /var/adm/messages.
You can monitor processes and lots of other things.  You can also use
the custom scripts you already have and just use opcmsg to send messages
to the OpenView agent.  There is also a Smart Plug in (SPI) for
NetBackup- I'm not sure what that includes but I believe it's free;
downloadable from the HP OpenView website. =20

=20

You can add commands to the Application bank in OpenView to allow the
NOC to do Veritas commands.  And/Or you can add commands as automatic
actions to certain messages like tape drive going DOWN. =20

Brian,

=20

Do you use Message Keys?  They can easily be used for message
correlation at no extra cost, instead of ECS.  ECS is only needed for
complex correlation. =20

We have open view now. But there is no way of tying in open view to
netbackup to up drives or restart jobs is there? How can netbackup send
data to open view for things such as what backups failed, drives or
robots that are down etc. without having to have some script running on
the master and sending trap to open view, right? Am I missing something?

        I primarily use HP OpenView for Operations (OVO).  It would be
nice to also get ECS (Event Correlation Services) with it, but that's an
extra cost.

        =20

        We also use autosys to schedule the running of some scripts that
will send information to syslog, which OVO will then detect, assess, and
possibly notify.

        Does anyone use external monitoring tools for netbackup?  We
have many custom scripts created to perform some monitoring tasks but I
have been tasked with looking for something that can automate allot of
the monitoring without having to write a customer script for everything.
Management also wants our NOC people to take over some of the monitoring
for us to allow us to get to the real work instead of worry about upping
drives or restarting failed jobs. Any ideas?
