Hi List,
Environment: Netview V7.1.4 on Redhat Advanced
Server2.1
I am trying to pass trap variables in the action
node of my ruleset to an external script(the script is a perl script). I call
the script using the action node and <full path>scriptname
"$NVE" "$NVA" "$NVT" "$NVATTR_1" "$NVATTR_2" "$NVATTR_3". When I print
out the variables passed to the script I noticed that some of the variables have
been slightly modified. As an example if I get an event for an ATM interface
that has gone down, the event appears correctly in the event desk(Interface
ATM2/0.100-aal5 down) but when my script prints this variable out to a file it
is as follows:
ATM2_0\.100\-aal5 down
I was hoping to use the interface information
to get certain mib variables before doing a wpostzmsg to tec.
But the slight modifications to the variables is causing problems as I
can't correlate the modified variable above with data I get back from the
devices using snmpget's. I tried echo'ing the variables in a shell
script (thinking it might be perl causing the problem) but the same thing
happens. If I look at the nvaction.alog they also appear "incorrectly" in
this trace file. The following is a few lines of the trace file:

successful. output data is: 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.3.1tivnetview.impol.local2
What do the "Varbind contained an illegal
character" messages mean? Has anyone else had this problem?
Any suggestions/ideas would be greatly
appreciated.
