Well,
I'm still digging!
It
appears that discovery works. The config file says the second field in the
config is the "service smartset" and describes it as the "smartset to create if
the service is discovered" to exist. My smartset IS being populated and when I
right clikc -> monitor -> network ->services - the ports show up. The
only thing that does not appear to be working is the creation of the service
icon as part of the node. Here is my config if anyone wants to take a stab at
whether it's "right"
isCICS_Gateway|5000,5503,7000,7020,7050,7051|CICS_Services|CICS_Gateway_Service|||Production_OS390|5
The address of the nodes listed in the "Production_OS390" smartset
are all multi-homed with the services actually responding on the real interface,
not the SNMP address which is the virtual.

I'm not the
expert on this, partly because it is so new, and partly because I don't work
with it. But I don't think the first version of servmon is as flexible
as you might like it to be. According to my understanding, in the case
of raw port tests, it appears that only the SNMP address is tested. The
raw port test does not test all IP addresses on a node.

NetView
v7.1.4 / Solaris 2.8 Greetings. There is a new enhancement / replacement for
nvsniffer that I am having trouble getting to work. The concept is to
detect whether a particular TCP port is accepting connections and report
an event if it is not. It looks to me like servmon will now do this.
nvsniffer as I recall will discover but not monitor port level
applications. The
problem is this: The servmon configuration requires that you specify what port the
application runs on and what smartset contains the nodes that are
considered "targets" for the servmon application. I have a smartset created that has 3 Unix servers.
Each of the Unix servers has multiple instances
of the software running on multiple different ports. Each of the Unix servers is multi-homed (4 physical and 12
virtual addresses). Each instance of the
software is tied to a virtual address. Each
instance of the software uses one or more ports. In my configuraiton, I specify I am interested on port 26001 (for
instance). Since the
boxes are multi-homed, I don't think servmon can tell which interface/IP
address to probe for port 26001 activitiy The
creation of the smarset means that the nodes listed are the right boxes,
but not the right interfaces for activity on those ports.
SO my question is - is
servmon smart enough to figure out the traffic is NOT on the interface that
is resolved in DNS and thus located in my smartset? Since servmon
actually adds a field in ovwdb (field name drivin by servmon.conf) I
cannot specify an interface in the servmon config or the smartset - only
a node name since it doesn't appear to add a field to an interface
object, only to a node object.
