RE: [nv-l] Control desk

I always put this little script in /usr/OV/reports/C:
#!/bin/ksh
# All_Events_For_Node.sh
# Show all events for a selected node from the trapd.log
name=$(basename $0)
. /usr/OV/bin/NVenvironment
. `echo $LOCAL_NV_COMMON_VARS`
xnmappmon -geometry 680x500 -commandTitle "$name" \
-commandHeading "All events from trapd.log for node: $OVwSelection1 " \
-cmd <custom.scripts.path>/showEvents.sh $OVwSelection1

Then I put this one in my custom scripts directory:

#!/bin/ksh
# showEvents.sh
# A script called from the Reports menu or the commandline to
# show all events for a node. This is simple enough that it could have been
# run directly from the Reports Menu stub script. Putting it here makes it
# easer to adapt it to the web client.
#set -x
NODE=$1

grep "$1 " /usr/OV/log/trapd.log* | cut -f2-20 -d: | sort

exit
=============================================================

The script in /usr/OV/reports/C shows up as a menu selection under Monitor..Reports..Site Provided for the selected node. The reason I make it two separate scripts is so I can call the same one (showEvents.sh) from the web client as well. I always ensure that the trapd daemon is configured to use the provided maintenance script and keep about 30 days of events and keep them in /usr/OV/log. If you have a trapd.old, then you have not done this. This allows for a number of older, renamed trapd.log files available for historical information. Try it. The result is a window of the entire event history for the selected node.

Thank you for your answers.
I tried Event History. I went back to events around noon. To go further, I
need to look into trapd.log and trapd.log.old. Moreover, I read that we can
execute a script when trapd creates a new trapd.log. It's something I can
think about to save logs.

And trapd.log will only take you so far back, depending on your filesize and
number of traps being received. We compress our trapd.log after a certain
filesize is reached and keep logs of at least past week.

Sorry, the question was not well formulated.

When I open a netview session, I see in the control desk only new events and
traps. How can I see old events, which occur before opening a session ? Is
there a file containing events of the control desk where I can find
yesterday's events for example ?

If you have marked
Options -> Save Environment
the Control Desk environment will be saved in /NvEnvironment/Workspaces on
exit.

Is there a file matching what we see in the control desk ?
