3217.0. "Event Logging Sink Problems..." by CAADC::GALVIN (Mic Galvin, MCI Team) Fri Jun 19 1992 13:37

    	Problems with MCC_STARTUP_DNA4_EVL.COM
    
    	Hi there.  I posted a note earlier and was corrected that the
    Collector AM Event Logging Sink and the Event Logging Sink that gets
    done at startup time are different...oops.
    
    	I still have question regarding setting up the Event Logging Sink. 
    What I'm trying to do is setup the local sink on the MCC Station
    (DG91MC), and want to sink with a target node, (DGQ1EM).  Both are in
    the same domain, and I want to fire off alarms created within my
    domain, DOWNERS_GROVE.
    
    	I only noticed this recently, since we've been doing some work with
    DECalert, but at startup time, MCC_STARTUP_DNA4_EVL.COM no longer
    creates the MCC_DNA4_EVL process.  When I try to interactively activate
    MCC_STARTUP_DNA4_EVL.COM I get the following error messages:

    � My question is, has something changed in T1.2.7 from X1.2.4 or is
    there something that poses a question changing from DNS to local
    namespace?  Those are the only 2 things I can think of that have
    changed from when I originally setup the sinking.  Also, I was sinking
    with a different node initially, so I tried replacing DGQ1EM with
    NP17X4, the 'original' node (that worked in 1.2.4), and I got the same
    error messages.
    
    	Thanks in advance.

3217.2Don't forget the necessary privileges...KITFOX::BALLFri Jun 19 1992 14:389
    Also don't forget that the privileges sysnam,sysprv,detach,oper,tmpmbx
    and netmbx are also needed...

3217.3a SINK by any other name...?CAADC::GALVINMic Galvin, MCI TeamSun Jun 21 1992 14:0914
    Hi there,
    	Well, the procedure that I got from D_BALL, fixed the privilege
    violation, but I'm still not seeing the MCC_DNA_EVL process.  The sinks
    are ok though...  I also uncommented out the COLLECTION AM sinking from
    the MCC_STARTUP_BMS.COM file.  I have an additional question regarding
    the sinking, what's the difference???
    	When would I use the COLLECTION AM and NOT the *other* sinking? 
    And regarding ALARMS, what do most folks do with setting up Event
    Logging Sinks?  Do they setup sinks to EVERY node they want to do
    remote alarming on or what?  This seems like alot of overhead...per
    usual, I'm confused...smile.  Thanks.

The collection AM sink is used to receive messages explicitely
sent by the DECmcc data collector.  It does not handle DECnet
events (nor, for that matter, SNMP traps).

The DNA4 event sink receives DECnet events, generated by DECnet
phase IV systems.
