RE: [NV-L] Traps by hostname

Hi,
 
Thanks for your reply. I understand what you said but my question is
whether i can able to get two entries at the same time in trapd.log, one
with IP address and another with hostname when an event occurs.
 

Thanks & Regards

If you get a NetView trap which is not resolved, then you have a DNS
problem. Most likely the reverse look-up, IP address to hostname, is
missing. Both netmon and trapd do everything they can to use hostnames
rather than IP addresses in the traps which netmon sends and trapd
displays. If a NetView trap, e.g., Node Down, shows up in trapd.log with
an IP address instead of a hostname, then it's a fact that netmon's
gethostbyaddr call failed to provide one. 

The same is true for a non-NetView trap. If a non-NetView trap is shown
in trapd.log with an IP address rather than a hostname, then trapd's
gethostbyaddr call failed to provide one. 

Try using the nvgethost command in /usr/OV/bin. You should get the same
results when you use the hostname and when you sue the IP address. If
they differ, then you have a problem to resolve.
