Re: [nv-l] Event browser hangs

To keep it simple for my customers, and
to always be as thorough as necessary, I recommend the following when making
changes to rulesets:
1) Close all events displays (file..exit
on the control desk menu for the events displays)
2) ovstop nvcorrd nvserverd actionsvr (this
is a good time to check netstat -a and see that everything has 'drained')
3) ovstart
4) restart the events display by dragging
Events off the toolbar onto the Control Desk (be sure nothing on the map
is selected)
This is the brute force, works-every-time
approach, but does not affect monitoring or the map. In theory you don't
always need to do all of this, but when something gets hung up, you don't
know whether it is caused by the change you made or the process of refreshing
it. This approach narrows it down, which in my case ends up being faster
in the long run.
If I am just adding/deleting a background
ruleset by modifying /usr/OV/conf/ESE.automation, then I will cheat and
just stop/start actionsvr.

A1. Run netstat -a. Do you see any backed up sockets belonging
to nvcorrd? If so, do you have any rulesets running in ESE.automation?
If so, do they Forward nodes in them? If not, what do
your custom rulesets do?
A2. Not sure what you are asking because the question is not specific
enough. You can always ovstop some particular daemons and restart
them. You can shutdown nvcorrd (ovstop nvcorrd) which will stop the
rulesets, nvserverd, and actionsvr. But you have to close the event
windows manually or you will see a pop-up message that nvserverd is not
running. If you like, however, you can "OK" that message,
and levae the windows open. When you then do ovstart to restart all
the stopped daemons, and the reconnection will happen automatically after
a minute or so. You'll see another pop-up that the reconnection has
occurred. But any events that came in while the daemons were down
is lost. And any correlation you were doing with old events is gone
too.
A3. No. Rulesets are loaded into memory when read by nvcorrd. There
is no way to modify the in-memory array nvcorrd has built when he loaded
them. You have to close the event windows using the old copy and
restart them to get the new copy.

| [nv-l] Event browser hangs |
|
Hi Folks,
NV 7.1.3 Solaris 9, FP2
I have been witnessing my event browser hanging recently ..
I have some Dynamic Workspaces defined and some are using Rulesets.
Q1: Any Idea?
Q2: How can I recycle the event processors (traps, NV events, Threshold,
correlated events, etc...) without having to shut down my Server?.
Q3: If I modify an existing ruleset, is the change automatically in effect
or I have to stop and start my server?
Thank You,
Meyos
