Re: [nv-l] ruleset in Unix

The use of the various ruleset constructs,
or nodes, as they are called, are explained in the NetView Admin Guide.
I'd start by reviewing that material.
You are going to use the graphical ruleset
editor, nvrsEdit, to construct your ruleset. You might want to look
at the samples and play with them in the editor to get a feel of it.
Basically you are writing two rulesets
(which could be later combined into one) that are both very similar. The
major construct in each is Reset-On-Match. It does just what you
describe. It holds an event for a specified time period and if the
designated match occurs, the event is dropped; otherwise it is passed on.
For your Node down case
So you start with the Event Stream node,
the thing that looks like a purple pizza, set to Block events (so you can
control when they are displayed) and from that you have two Trap Settings,
one for Node Down and one for Node Up. The two Trap Settings are
connected to the event stream but not to each other as they represent parallel
paths. The Node down connects then to the Reset-On-Match in the Input
1 slot. The Node Up to the Input 2 slot. In the Reset, your
matching attribute will the be hostname of the incoming event, which for
NetView is always Attribute 2 of the event. and the time will be 5 minutes.
On the output side of the Reset-On-Match you will have an Action
node. In it you will put the full path to a script you will write
to send the event text you want in e-mail. You would use the UNIX
sendmail command for that.
For your Router Marginal case, you have
the same structure except that the two TrapSettings are for Router Marginal,
rather than Node Down, and Router Up rather than Node Up
To activate your ruleset(s) you would
put the name of them in /usr/OV/conf/ESE.automation and restart actionsvr
who will run them. You can see the commands being logged in his logs,
nvaction.alog and blog. You can trace the action of the ruleset in
the nvcorrd log, if you first issue the command "nvcdebug -d all"
to cause the trace to activate.
Hope this helps

it
should hold for 5 minutes,If Upevent is recived within 5 mins then both
events will dropped. If UP event is not recived,within the allowed time
then down event will trigger and mail is to be send.Also in the case of
router if ruter marginal event recieved it should block router down event
also for 5 minutes,if up event recieved within 5 min then both the event
should dropped,otherwise mail is to be generated
