I am afraid that Netview will be unable to natively monitor some of the specifics we are looking for from this application. Hence, the reason we are pursuing usage of this MIB. It contains specific i
I'm afraid I still don't understand. Will you be receiving traps from this application's SNMP agent? Will you be polling this SNMP agent? In SNMP, those are your two options -- wait for an agent to s

I am very happy you are asking these questions. Allow me to further articulate what we are trying to engineer here. There is a SNMP agent on the Siteminder policy server that will send traps. We are

We are doing same for traps from many vendors - all the way from layer 2 to application-level. You need to load the trap definitions provided by this vendor (hopefully you will have those). And loadi

You would need to extract the trap definitions out of the MIB file and then add them to Netview so it can interpret / format incoming traps properly. If the vendor provided file is syntax error-free

Let me get this right. So I need to open the MIB file up and rip out which ones I need? Then I need to manually add them to an existing Netview MIB? J.T. Edwards Sr. Systems Programmer Enterprise Sys

Just run mib2trap command against the mib file. mib2trap <mib_file_name> <output_file_name> The output file will be a shell script. Just run this shell script and voila! PS: VERY IMPORTANT - keep you

If all you need to do is receive traps, you don't need to load mibs. "Loading MIBs in NetView" does not define the snmp traps. It may seem a little odd to you, but that's the way the tool is set up.

Only the web client interface supports SNMP V2. You have to load the V2 mib from the web client and browse the V2 mib from web client interface. The (X11) NetView GUI only supports V1. Don Davis Firs
JT, Caveat: this command is depreecated that's why it's no longer visible from the GUI. Caveat2: if your purpose for loading mibs is to be able to select the element as a target of data collections/t

John, I am trying to load a Siteminder MIB which is a SNMP v2 mib so that I can monitor this application. I used the Web Browser to integrate the MIB yet with the MIB Browser I could not see any of t
Can you be more specific about what it is your monitoring? NetView can monitor a lot of things without necessarily having a mib loaded. You may think I'm being a pain, but the reason I ask is that I
