Re: [nv-l] trapd.conf and custom slot name

Could anyone give an example of how
I can set an varbind variable from an external script ?
Maybe call an Inline command from a
ruleset ?
When forwarding a internal trap like
58916867 (interface down) it only contains 5 varbinds, say you want to
add another information to that trap.
Regards!

If I understand what you said, you added a field to the object in the NetView
database. Well, there is no mechanism provided in trapd to extract
that field. He has no way of knowing about it. What you can
do in trapd.conf is manipulate the varbinds that are sent with the trap
itself, but you cannot add anything new except fixed text, or combinations
of existing varbinds using the PRINTF syntax.
Either you will have to provide one an extraction mechanism yourself and
make it part of your TEC ruleset, or you will have to find what you want
in the trap varbinds.

| [nv-l] trapd.conf and custom

Hi,
A question when integrating Netview 7.14 with TEC 3.9
Reason for my question is that we want to use short nodename i Netview
and a longer nodename i TEC.
So we have added an extra field at each object i netview, called tec_nodename
where the long name is kept.
Now I want to transfer the content of field "tec_nodename" in
slot map "nv_var15" to TEC
So the big question is what syntax should I use in trapd.conf ???
I have tried
nv_var15 tec_nodename
but the result is that nv_var15 contains the fixed text "tec_nodename"
Any suggestions ........

Example from my trapd.conf :
***********************************************************************************
IBM_NVNDWN_EV {1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.3} 6 58916865 N 4 0 "Status Events"
$3
EVENT_CLASS TEC_ITS_NODE_STATUS
BEGIN_SLOT_MAPPING
nvhostname $NV_IPADDR
nv_var15 tec_nodename
msg $V3
nodestatus DOWN
iflist $V8
END_SLOT_MAPPING
SDESC
This event is generated by IBM Tivoli NetView when
it detects a node is down
The data passed with the event are:
1) ID of application sending the event
2) Name or IP address
3) Formatted description of the event
4) Timestamp of the event and objid of the node object
5) Database name
6) Selection Name
7) (not used)
8) Interface list
