Francois,
Your suggestion to place the dot before the oid worked.  Now I must learn to 
create the script and have it generate a trap.  Any pointers?  Much thanks!

James Shanks,
I loaded LOAD-BAL-SYSTEM-MIB and was able to browse the mib with no problem.  
Thank you

Eric,

Try to use your netview snmpget with a dot in front of your oid.
snmpget -c community string ip address .1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.1.1.61.0

if it still doesn't work, use the oid that you see exist in the output of 
snmpwalk.

I would continue to use a script that I would run every 10 minutes (for
example) in a crontab. The script would do the snmpget to each device and 
compare the result. It can then generate a trap and netview can take action on 
that trap (execute a script or forward to tec for example)

Sorry if this is a repeat, but nv-l went whacky for a while and I was not 
receiving anything and I don't know if anyone received this email previously.


Patform: Netview 7.1.4 FP3 AIX 5.2


Goal:  To provide an alert in Netview when both of our F5 Load Balancers are in 
"active" state at the same time.
When OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.1.1.61.0 = 2  (this defines "active")


Background:
This was previously accomplished using a shell script on an AIX box running 
Tivoli with Tivoli's wsnmpget command:
wsnmpget -h ip address -c community string 1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.1.1.61.0 This 
command returns:  2  (meaning active)


The equivalent command using snmpget on my Netview box is:
snmpget -c community string ip address 1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.1.1.61.0 This command 
returns:  snmpget: This variable does not exist:
.iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysUpTime.6
.1.4.1.3375.1.1.61.0.


If I could get snmpget to work, the next question would be, How do I use this 
in Netview?


snmpwalk works:  A search of the output reveals that the above OID is not 
found.  That is, the OID is found but without the ending 61.0


How do I accomplish my goal?  Am I barking up the wrong tree?  Is there a 
utility like rulesets or smartsets that can accomplish my goal?


Thank you in advance for any guidance you can provide.
