Hi all, Important servers are monitored for availability by Netview. Status Polling is set to take place every 5 minutes. If a server does not respond, a Node Down trap is generated, and automatic es
I'm sure you will get many suggestions on this one. Here's one: a cron job on the netview server that runs at a certain time that sets a field (maintenancewindow=TRUE) on members of a collection, and

I have our traps kick off scripts. In that script I check for time of day and day of week (as well as do some additional logging). Let me know if this is what you are looking for. I might be able to
My suggestion is that you add an in-line action to your ruleset, in which you grep a file which is a list of nodes scheduled for maintenance. If the node is in the list, then you exit the ruleset, el

I would be intrested in lokking at your Scripts if you still have them avalible. Thanks, Bill --Original Message-- From: Steve Stamper <sstamper AT foremost DOT com> To: IBM NetView Discussion <nv-l
I like Leslie's idea of having a cron job set the value for a field (Maintenancewindow=YES) and then unset it later. You will still get the node down, but your ruleset can ignore it. I had a similar
Ray, You said you used a cron-job to do a demand-poll. What command do you use to initiate a demand-poll? Wouter de Bruin Network Management Consultant `Externe E-Mail wordt door DNB niet gebruikt vo
Leslie, I like the idea, but this means that I must create a field called : MaintWindow (Or whatever) for the nodes in my Maintenance collection. How do I create this field? Regards Wouter de Bruin N
The easiest way is to use the nvdbimport command. If you have a file that looks like this: IP Hostname,MaintnenanceTime ServerA,TRUE ServerB,TRUE ServerC,TRUE and run 'nvdbimport -f <name of this fil
It was a script something like this: /usr/OV/bin/nmdemandpoll $(/usr/OV/bin/nvUtil l Collection_Name) >/dev/null where Collection_Name is the name of the collection of the nodes whose maintenance win

Ooh thats nifty. I never knew about nvUtil. BTW if your going over the max number of command line parameters the easiest way to fix it is to pipe things through xargs. I'd run it like this /usr/OV/bi

Ooh another cool trick I can really use. However I wondered if it will cause a problem when I need to delete the node? I've seen posts about problems caused when trying to delete a node that has non
I've never had a problem with it. The danger is when you create the field and give it flags, including Name (like IP Hostname and Selection Name have). A boolean field with the Locate flag is perfect
