Hello there, Netview 7.1.2 on Solaris 

I want to monitor traps for an IBM server running windows 2000 with
ServRaid. The idea is to get the traps for some ServRaid events. I'm not
familiar with this type of server, but using the ServRaid snmp agent, is
possible to send test traps to Netview.

In the Netview server I compiled the ibmServRaid.mib provided by IBM and
also run the mib2trap utility to add the traps from this file. The problem
I have is that when I send the test trap I don't get the trap definition,
but only the specific trap number. I have tried with several attributes,
but no luck. Does any body know which attribute from 1 to 50 will display
the trap definition?

This is the action line in my ruleset:
/tmp/somecript $NVG $NVA $NVS "$NVATTR_1" "$NVATTR_2"  "$NVATTR_3"
"$NVATTR_4"  "$NVATTR_5"   

This is from trapd.log
1051826714 7  Thu May 01 16:05:14 2003 titanic.cns.ualberta.ca   A
ibmServeRaidMIB 6 601 1 args:  [1]
private.enterprises.ibm.ibmProd.167.2.1.3.8.0 (OctetString): titanic

This is what /tmp/somecript logs to some file: 
NVG = 6
NVA = titanic.cns.ualberta.ca
NVS = 601
NVATTR1 = titanic
NVATTR2 = 7
NVATTR3 = A
NVATTR4 = A
NVATTR5 = 1
NVATTR6 =
NVATTR7 = 60

Is the servRaid application supposed to provide the trap definition with
the trap? Or is Netview supposed to decode it based in the specific trap
number, provided it does have this traps defined as in this case?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
