MLM can receive and forward SNMP V1 traps.  He can also threshold them 
first, so that duplicates are reduced, or filter out unwanted ones..  But 
he does not modify them in any way, nor does he run scripts.  MLM does not 
replace ovactiond (which runs commands/scripts  from traps directly) nor 
nvcorrd-actionsvr (rulesets with action nodes).

        Subject:        [nv-l] Can MLM Receive, Reformat, and Send Traps?



We are using Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) to monitor distributed 
domain controllers.  We need to reformat traps coming from MOM and then 
forward them on to CA-Unicenter.  We are currently testing this using 
NetView 7.2 on AIX, and it seems to work quite well.

Rather than use our NetView for this function, we'd like to off-load it to 
an MLM, if MLM can do this?  We've never used MLM.

Does MLM have the same function or ability NetView has to run scripts when 
an SNMP Trap comes in?  We need to be able to select fields from the 
incoming trap, and generate a new trap that is sent to CA-Unicenter.  Does 
it make any difference if MLM is running on Windows versus Unix?

Thanks for any info,
