Re: [nv-l] [NV] threshold monitoring and usage of /usr/OV/conf/location.conf
2003-01-03 05:17:58
Hi Thorsten,
If you have NetView 7.1 or later then NetView will automatically place
routers into "the lowest nested location that includes all of the
network to which the router is connected" (Release Notes 7.1 p17).
This has worked well for me. In addition, you can explicitly put
entries for routers into location.conf. Switches do not appear at the
top-level internet, only at the network level, so they will go wherever
your location.conf says their containing network should go.
If you want a more command-line oriented way of customising data
collection and thresholds, you can edit the file that lies behind this
GUI - /usr/OV/conf/snmpCol.conf. I guess you will also have to bounce
the snmpCollect daemon to make him reread this file. The advantage of
manipulating snmpCol.conf directly is that you can also specify SNMP V2
MIB variables here, whereas the GUI only lets you specify SNMP V1.
Cheers,
Jane

Hi list,
did anyone here in the forum already use /usr/OV/conf/location.conf for
saving some time in the process of putting "objects/symbols" to their final
destination? I´m asking this, cause we would like to put gateways
(router/switch) to their final map automatically as it means to spend some
extra efforts by doing this task automatically.
In addition to that I have another question in the area of threshold
monitoring via snmpCollect. Is there any other "easy" way to do threshold
monitoring next to the GUI based approach, i.e. may be a script that is
starting the collection of defined MIB variables for instance? Is there
someone one the list, who already gathered some experience with this?
Many thanks, it is greatly appreciated.
best regards,
