Larry, are you trying to add new fields to the Object Info for nodes? If
you are on Netview 5.1
there are some really nice new commands for manipulating this data. Check
out
nvdbimport and nvdbformat man pages. You can add fields and set their
values
from a script very nicely. To obtain the values, you would have to run a
script that
issues snmpget commands and writes them to a file. Then use nvdbimport to
set them
in the netview database. Then you can create collections based on their
values.


Cordially,
