I am developing a plugin on Tivoli Netview 7.1.3 for AIX and Solaris. The purpose of the plugin is to show all the traps messages received from the devices managed by the plugin in the Event Browser.

For this purpose I have made an application which should run when the traps are received.

Entries have been made in the trapd.conf for these traps. The command in the “event modify” window of the traps contains the entries as:

/usr/OV/bin/nvsniffer –c /usr/OV/conf/xyz.conf  -n $A –t 1 –T 30 –m –s xyz.conf is the configuration file that contains the entry for my application.

$A is the selection name of the device that sends a trap.

 

Now when I run this command from the console window, I am able to get the traps reflected in the event browser. But this command does not executes automatically for a trap, when set in the “modify event” for a trap in the “event configuration”.

 

The ovactiond.log contains some entries like:

03/28/06 05:57:28 AM Command /usr/OV/bin/nvsniffer -c /usr/OV/conf/xrxsniffer.conf -n 13.205.105.98 -t 1 -T 30 -m -s returned standard output data:

Please help me on this.
