RE: [NV-L] netcheck and nvsniffer

Then nvsniffer functionality was upgraded to the servmon functionality in V7. It is doucmented in the Administrator's Guide, chapter 7, Discovering Services on Nodes. It will monitor the status of those services and generate events when it goes down or up. Jane did a nice paper on the subject and stored it out on the wiki.

Go to the NetView Tivoli User Group website. http://www.nv-l.org/twiki/bin/view/Netview/WebHome
Pick Hints & Tips -> Config Management.
There are two papers in there describing how to use servmon.

The netchk function is handy when you need to do a commandline check that is similar to the open port check that nvsniffer or servmon will do.

This script will generate a Node Down or Node Up trap according to the second parameter passed.

#!/bin/bash
#
Node=${1:-TestTrap}
State=${2:-Up}
# Create a state change trap to NetView with the new state
/usr/OV/bin/snmptrap -d -c public "localhost " ".1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.3" "localhost" "6" "58916871" "0" ".1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.3.1.1.2.0" "Integer" 14 ".1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.3.1.1.3.0" "OctetString" "${Node}" ".1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.3.1.1.4.0" "OctetString" "Object status is" ".1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.3.1.1.5.0" "OctetString" "${State}" ".1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.3.1.1.6.0" "OctetString" "openview"

Subject: [NV-L] netcheck and nvsniffer

Hi,

I got some useful commands like nvsniffer and netcheck when i searched this mailing list.

bash-2.05b# netcheck -o tcpPort=8888 -t tcp 10.16.34.12

The above command is highly useful to chk the status of the ports, but how to generate traps using this?

Also, what is the difference in using servmon.conf, netcheck and nvsniffer?
how to generate traps out of this?

I'm using Netview 7.1.4 on Aix 5.2
