Re: [nv-l] collected data with hostnames or IPs?

I don't have an answer for you. snmpcollect
is not something I work on. But I spoke with the snmpcollect guy
over lunch and he was unable to suggest a reason for your difficulty. He
said that snmpcollect, like the rest of NetView, should attempt to resolve
an IP address into a hostname, and you should only see IP addresses when
it cannot do that. He had no ideas about why name resolution should
be failing for you and suggested that you should open a problem to Support
in order to get some personal help.

| [nv-l] collected data with
hostnames or IPs? |

Hi all
Sorry I resend this problem because I did
not receive any reply
We are using netview 7.1.3 with windows 2000
server
I have a problem with data collection
when I issue snmpodump (snmpcoldump) some
nodes appear with their IP addresses and the others appear with their host
names taking in consideration that all the nodes are resolved correctly
to their host names in the netview console and in the objects database.
also when I changed some of the host names
in the etc\hosts file some of the collected data appeared with the old
host name of the nodes.
I tried making the following but did not
work
- stopping the netmon and the snmpcollect
daemons
- clearing all netview databases
- clearing snmpcollect database (usr\ov\database\snmpcollect
is now empty )
- starting the netmon daemon
- making sure that netview discovered all
the needed nodes with correct host name
- starting the the snmpcollect daemon
but the problem stills
any one can help?
thanks
Alaa Farrag
