Re: [nv-l] How to populate hostname in TEC slot mapping
2004-04-21 17:41:48
I am using the xnmtrap GUI where everything gets configured. The middle
boxes specify the TEC class to map a TRAP to and the TEC slot mapping.
It is the TEC slot mapping where I want access to a hostname variable.
I know I can use $COMMUNITY, $ENTERPRISE, $SOURCE_TIME, $TYPE, $SPECIFIC
and $V1 - 15 . NetView enterprise TRAPs generally have the second TRAP
varbind as the hostname so for that I could use $V2 but many TRAPs don't
include the "host with the problem" as a TRAP varbind - it's part of the
SNMP/UDP/IP header after all and NetView obviously knows where it came
from because he always displays it in the event workspace and make it
available as the $A variable if you want to configure an action in the
bottom box of the xnmptrap application.
Does that make sense?
Cheers,
Jane

Where are you trying to specify the variable? In trapd.conf? In the
ruleset itself?

[nv-l] How to populate hostname in TEC slot mapping
NetView 7.1.4 for Unix.
I want be able to populate the hostname TEC slot for any generic TRAP
that NetView is configured to forward to TEC. Default events in
TEC_ITS.rs seem to get hostname populated automatically. If I wsa
configuring a NetView TRAP for automatic action, I'd use $A for the
machine that sent the TRAP. Is there an equivalent environment variable
to use for slot mapping. I've tried $HOSTNAME and $A to no avail.
Cheers,
Jane
