Oliver,

Thanks, nice idea but ....

I do not have all trap sending devices as NV objects. In some cases
I use MLM and NV just for basic filtering and correlation before forwarding
events
to the T/EC (just trap handling - nothing on the map)

As the information of the trap sending MLM should be available (ip source
address), I was
wondering if there might be a (undocumented) variable available for the event
definition /
slot mapping to get access to this information

Cheers - Helmut

Helmut,

there is no easy way to do this.
But maybe you think about the following:

1. Forget the normal TEC forwarding.
2. Create a ruleset running from ESE.automation.
3. Pizza: Block. Put in your normal trap filtering.
4. End with an action node.
5. In this action you have to determine the Object ID of the node.
   In netmon traps you will find it normally as part of $NVATTR_4.
   In agent traps I would try to use something like this:
   /usr/OV/bin/nvgethost $NVATTR_2 | /usr/bin/awk '{print $1}' |\
     /usr/bin/xargs /usr/OV/bin/ovobjprint -s |\
     /usr/bin/grep "^OBJECT:" | /usr/bin/awk '{print $NF}'
6. Use this OID now to find out the MLM smartset:
   /usr/OV/bin/nvUtil s ObjectID | /usr/bin/grep mlmDomain_
   (if you have changed the prefix name of the MLM SmartSet
    you have to change "mlmDomain" with this one configured behind the
    netmon -C option)
7. use wpostemsg to generate the TEC event.
   Send along the smartset name (or "cut -d_ -f2" of the name).

Just an idea. Maybe the other NetView gurus have better ones ;-)

Kind regards

Hi all,

this NV 6.0.2 on AIX with several MLMs:

when receiving traps I would like to know from which MLM
they were send (not the trap agent's address) but I did not find
any variable which represents this value ?

I'd like to group events per MLM in the T/EC as the MLM
represents a site (trap destination for all local devices)
 .... and the ip subnetting so chaotic that I cannot
use the agent's address to determine the site
 ...any ideas  ?
Thanks in advance - Helmut Schroeder
