Re: [nv-l] FW: event correlation in NetView (7.1.3)

Other than the NetView for UNIX Admin guide that ships with the product, the closest thing I can think of to another text which describes ruleset and how they work is an old IBM redbook, Examples Using NetView for AIX Version 4, SG24-4515-00, because it was in Version 4 that the ruleset correlation was introduced. I 'm not aware of other documents on it capabilities.

I'm also not aware of what you are trying to do with it, since I don't have Ciscoworks DFM. My advice to new users is to start up the ruleset editor, nvrsEdit, and look at the template functions to see what kind of things you can do out of the box. Of course, with the in-line action capability you can write little scripts to check all kinds of things when events arrive, as long as you are careful of the performance issues involved.

Subject	[nv-l] FW: event correlation in NetView (7.1.3)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Does anyone have any information or links on the event correlation engine in NetView? I am wondering how sophisticated and capable it is and how to leverage it. I am wondering if I can use NetView to do some of the things CiscoWorks DFM does.[Michael J. Freeman] Also we are trying to do event correlation without using T/EC. Thanks in advance, Michael J.
