This seems to work well

/usr/OV/bin/netmon -a 16

sleep 3

if [ -f /usr/OV/log/netmon.trace ]; then
  echo "Netmon is " `grep [-].*[:] /usr/OV/log/netmon.trace | wc -l `
"behind in snmp polling";

else
  echo "Netmon is too busy to report now. Try later."

fi

Exit

Subject: [nv-l] How to tell when Netmon is getting behind?


Greetings,

I am looking at some graphs of SNMP Operations, Ethernet traffic, etc in
attempt to determine if netmon is falling behind and / or trapd is
overloaded?  We are currently receiving authentication failure traps every
.05 seconds and I think this is degrading performance but I am looking for
proof.  When I try to do a demandpoll currently it hangs...

Is there some other tool or information I could be looking at?  Would a
flood of traps (to ovtrapd?) degrade the performance of netmon?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Janelle
