How do you know that the missing traps are even sent?   If you aren't doing
anything in NetView, then it is more likely that the trap sender isn't
sending them, or that routing problems prevent them from reaching you.  I'd
run an iptrace for port 162 udp and see if they even arrive when you are
expecting them.  If there is a trap sent log of some kind on the sender,
I'd check that too.

Subject:  Missing Alerts





Hi,

I've a major problem...I'm monitoring my network using Netview 5.1,
Framework 3.1.1 on AIX 4.2.1 (I've just upgraded from Netview 5.0).

There're days when I don't get any link down alerts even though there's
a link failure.  This'll last a few days before the alerts start coming
in as per normal again.  I don't think this is due to the upgrade as
this has happened a number of times even before the upgrade.

Can someone tell me what could have gone wrong?  I'm using a E30 with
256MB RAM.  Doing "vmstat", on average I get 50-70% idle.

Thanks!

cheers,
Jeanie
