Which version of CiscoView? Version 4.0 is OK, but for previous one I had the
following trick
to get correctly the community from NV:

 Action CWCiscoView{
        SelectionRule isNode && isCisco;
        MinSelected 1;
        MaxSelected 1;
        SelectionRule isNode && isCisco;
        Command "${NMSROOT}/bin/nmcview -host ${OVwSelection1} `xnmsnmpconf
-resolve ${OVwSelection1} | awk '/community/ { printf \"-rd %s \", $3 } ;
/setCommunity/ { printf \"-wr %s \", $3 }'`";

    }

I know this is a little off-Topic, but... What is the Correct Sysntax for
the ciscoview registration file? When I start ciscoview from a router
icon, I don't get the community strings.....are these available in the same
way  as OVwSelected1 ?
Thanks
Howard
