Leslie,
Those are some
good ideas.
Thanks very
much!
You could use the
servmon feature and define a custom test that does an snmpget of something
like sysobjectid and indicates by return code whether the request failed off.
It is pretty simple. You can configure the test to run at a long interval,
like weekly or something. An event is generated when status changes. You might
end up with a smartset of all things that are SNMP enbabled, and that's
probably not good if it is a big network. But check it out. there is a
servmon.conf file in /usr/OV/conf.
Generally I have just put a script in cron that dumps a list of nodes
and does an snmpget against them and produces a report. The nvUtil command can
be used to dump a list of things where 'isSNMPSupported' is true, so you are
only checking the things that Netview discovered with SNMP.
Cordially,

Subject
| [NV-L] Looking for a way to
verify SNMP connectivity to all managed
nodes |
|
NV 7.1.4 FP5 on AIX 5.2
I have had discovered and managed
devices, which are being ping-polled, lose their SNMP connectivity to
NetView.
Unfortunately, NetView doesn't seem to tell me when it loses
SNMP connectivity to a device, or if it does, I do not know where to
look.
Is there a way I can use NV to globally test SNMP connectivity to
all my managed nodes, as opposed to using the GUI Test > Connectivity
method for one node at a time?
We will be changing our community
strings on all SNMP nodes soon, so a global test could tell me when all
devices are up to date with the new community
strings.
Thanks
