I am running NV 5.1.1 on Solaris.
I have built the obj database
using LOADHOSTS.
I use different snmp community
names for different groups of devices.
After all the devices are
loaded , I then set the default community name in the snmpconf to
one of the names I use.
I then do a demand poll on
all devices loaded, to update object info to be ISSNMP =YES.
I repeat this using all community
names I need.
At this point the database
knows all objects are SNMP.
I then create CONTAINERS
grouped according to the different community names.
According to the manual,
when you query a device that is snmp, it first looks in the snmpconf
file for a specific entry, if none exist it looks for an IP range, if none
exist it looks for a container and if none exist it looks at default.
PROBLEM:
After I create a container and set the community string for each container,
the system always uses the default.
But if I do an XNMSNMPCONF
-RESOLVE (TARGET) it returns the container community name as I would expect.
QUESTION: Is
this the way it works or is it broke or am I setting something wrong?
Thanks for any help.
