| Cathy,
What's the polling interval? The node down events are generated by
netmon, not by the down node, so [if my memory serves me correctly]
NetView (i.e. netmon) won't discover that the node is down until it
is polled.

Yeah..I was thinking I remember the same thing....polling interval is
default (15 minutes) but if a node goes critical enough for us to
get a trap on it and report critical in the event window, I would
*think* that netview would be smart enough to turn the object red....
(why do I think I've had this discussion before???--wow .. deja vue!!!)
so, if your memory DOES serve you correctly (I don't trust mine
anymore!) then I have a question...I could understand a node going down
and NOT going red until the polling interval goes off and the nms
gets no response. BUT if it's the case of the node sending a trap
(lets say one of his circuits goes down), then why would netview
wait for the polling interval? We already KNOW there is a problem...
the more I think about it....the confused-er I get....
