4085.0. "No getevent output in Ultrix" by MADBAS::JHANNAH (Jim Hannah, Telecoms & Nets, AYO) Fri Nov 13 1992 14:27

Hi,
    	I'm having a problem with DECmcc (V1.2.0) and Ultrix V4.2a.  I'm 
    	trying to sink events from a router into DECmcc. Here's what 
    	I've done.

	1. Set up the router to sink the events to my mcc node, as shown :-

	Logging = monitor

	Sink node                          = 43.705, events =
        	                         0.0-9
                	                 4.0-19

	2. Set up the evl on the mcc node, as shown :-

	Logging = monitor

	State                              = On
	Name                               = /usr/etc/mcc_dna4_evl_monitor
	Sink node                          = 43.705 (AYONET), events =
        		                         0.9
                		                 4.7,10,15,18


    	Problem is no matter what I do in mcc I can't get GETEVENT to show any
    	events at all all. The file /tmp/evl_monitor_log seems to show the data 
    	arriving okay.

	$tail /tmp/evl_monitor_log

	39 bytes Evl nice msg is coming.
	Received 39 bytes evl message:
	End of event #75
	35 bytes Evl nice msg is coming.
	Received 35 bytes evl message:
	End of event #76



	One thing I did notice was that there was no mcc_dna4_evl_pipe file 
    	produced in /tmp, is this a problem, and if so what is supposed to
    	produce it?
    
     
	Any suggestions on what to look for would be appreciated.


	Regards,
		Jim.

    Your setup looks correct.
    
    There are two processes that need to be running to receive DECnet phase
    IV events on Ultrix.
    
    Starting from scratch on the mcc node:
    
    	define log moni state off    
        Set exec state off
        Set exec state on
    	Check for the monitor process /usr/etc/mcc_dna4_evl_monitor 
    
    It creates two files in /tmp:
    
    	/tmp/evl_monitor_pid
    	/tmp/evl_monitor_log
    
    Enable the local sink monitor from DECmcc:
    
    	MCC> enable node4 0 local sink monitor
    
    A second process /usr/etc/mcc_dna4_evl_process is started, there will be 
    two more files in the /tmp directory:
    
    	/tmp/evl_prc_log
    	/tmp/evl_prc_pid
    
    See note 3984.1 for more information.

    Thanks, it's working great now.
    
    Regards,
    		Jim
