Your list of nodes must be fully qualified for one thing.   If the trap
comes in from  "host1.abc.com" that must be what is in your /pop file.
Just "host1" will not do it.   And you should have one entry per line with
no comments.  I cannot think of what else to tell you since I have made
this same thing work here many times.

Subject:  Event Configuration







First question:
I'd like to  see in the NetView Control Desk the event  Interface down
just
from a list of nodes that I've  put in a file: /pop
 From the NetView main menu I  selected: Options-->Event
Configuration-->Trap
Customization:SNMP...  and  select  the enterprise netView60000  and find
the
event name Interface down. I modified the  Event Category to Log Only and
save
it.
I copy this event   given  the name event  INTERFACE_DOWN and  after
modified the Event Category to Status Events, Severity to Critical  and I
add
in the source the path (/pop).
I tested (sending  an interface down event to trapd) but  does not work,
I
can't see  any interface down  event  on  the control desk.   There  are
not
filter o rulesets   active  ( I have the default configuration).   I am
also
interesting to associate  a command for  the interface down event but  I
did
not try because I have to resolve this first.   I use AIX 4.3.2 and NetView
5.1.
I am wondering if I missed some steps or there is a bug.
Second question:
I tried  the command setthresh  to update (adding also new entries) the
file
snmpCol.conf   but without success. In the addministrator's guide there is
not
an example.   Is this command works and if yes may I have an example ?.

Thanks a lot.
