Re: [nv-l] Trap flow to TEC
2004-10-04 03:32:56
Brian & Brian,
I have also defined my own traps in NV for Windows to be forwarded to
TEC. I have NOT found any good official documentation but I can confirm
that if you get your .cds file correct then the Java customisation GUI
will see your TRAPs and you can filter them IN from there. If you don't
like the Java GUI, there is no problem with simply adding to
tecad_nv6k.conf manually - if you do that, you also need to manually
stop and start the tecad_nv6k daemon.
Brian G - you've obviously got as far as tracing things with
tecad_nv6k.err - can you elaborate on exactly what discards your
event?? There are a number of the standard NetView events (generated
with the event command) that never make it to TEC. The reason is that
the number of variables that some NetView events have generated, has
changed. Interface and Node up and down are examples. The event
command has not been updated to generate the correct number of variables
but the CDS file has - you can see in the tecad_nv6k.err file that the
CORRECT NUMBER of variables is checked for - when this is wrong the
event gets discarded.
Are you, by any chance, doing testing with an event that doesn't have
all the variables you defined in the CDS file? I suspect variables with
an incorrect type may do the same thing.
Cheers,
Jane

Brian,
I wondered the same thing also....but once I had correctly defined the trap
using the "CLASS" specification in the tecad_nv6k.cds as all the other
classes in that file are specified, they showed up when I ran the
tecconfig.bat utility. I actually just kind of stumbled across this.....I
had been advised to define the "CLASS" that the trap would fall under in
tecad_nv6k.cds, and then to edit the tecad_nv6k.conf file so that these
would be filtered "IN", and it worked after that....I started seeing the
events show up in the TEC reception log. It wasn't till after I had all of
this working that I ran the tecconfig.bat utility and happened to see them
listed there. From this I assumed that tecconfig.bat utility was simply
picking up the entries from the tecad_nv6k.cds file. Hopefully someone out
here can clarify if this is actually the case...again, as I mentioned, this
was just my assumption from what I saw happen. Other than that, I can only
suggest re-checking the syntax of the CLASS definition for those traps in
tecad_nv6k.cds....since I don't think this file is one that gets compiled,
but simply read....it may be possible that tecconfig.bat can simply bypass
anything formed incorrectly and keep reading the rest of the definitions.
Can anyone elaborate on this ?
Brian

It looks like the TEC adapter (tecad_nv6k) is doing the discarding. I
don't have all the classes loaded in the TEC rulebase, but I am looking
in the reception log using wtdumprl and I can't see anything there. I
have run the java-based utility from the Start Menu, but that does not
give me the option of selecting any traps other than those which were
loaded at the start of this installation. Got any idea how to tell that
tool that there are new traps? Or tell it I would like to be able to
forward ANY trap?
Thanks,
Brian

Brian,
Is Netview discarding the event or is TEC discarding the event. I have
setup this exact scenario on the same platform as you. It my case, I
setup the new traps that I wanted to go to TEC as a new class, but
didn't define the class in a baroc file on the TEC server.
Also, if these are new traps, have you run the TEC_Config utility to
make sure that they are filtered "IN" ? Again, in our case I not only
had to define the traps in Netview as you have, but as a final step I
had to make sure that those specific traps were filtered "IN" so that
the TEC adapter would "pick them up" and forward them to TEC.

Subject: [nv-l] Trap flow to TEC
I have a Netview server on NT, and I am trying to set up the flow of
traps to TEC. For the traps loaded during the install (there are about
115 of them) the flow works fine, but I am trying to load new traps and
get the flow working. I have edited the enterprise into the
tecad_nv6k.oid file, and edited the .cds and .conf files - but nothing
happens. Looking in the trace file (I edited tecad_nv6k.err) it is
matching, but it is discarding the event.
Does anyone know how to get this flowing correctly? I am running
Netview 7.1.4 on Windows 2000, and the TEC Server (3.9) is loaded on the
same server.
Thanks,
Brian
