Can anyone shed some light on this customer's problem with MCC 1.3
for Ultrix (Polycenter Framework....)
He is trying to target an EVENT to the interface icon on a node icon.
This works with alarms (as noted in a previous entry, it is case
sensitive.) And it reportedly worked in FT1.3 for this customer but
SSB release 1.3 won't change the interface Icon color based on an
EVENT (instead of an alarm).
to quote the customer:
What I am trying to do is target the linkup/down event directly to an
icon
representing the interface, rather than the box the interface resides
in.
For example:
notify request
entity=snmp * event=linkup,linkdown
target
entity event managed object target entity
severity
snmp * linkup snmp #1 interface #2 snmp #1 interface #2 MAJOR
snmp * linkdown snmp #1 interface #2 snmp #1 interface #2 MAJOR
Under field test, this would result in the interface icon changing
color.
(the interfaces were added to the map by looking into the snmp toolbox
object)
Vital stats are
Ultrix 4.3
Decnet OSI 5.1
Polycenter (MCC) 1.3
****************
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I can't find the solution
soon, I will have to officially escalate the call and wait for the
process to grind out an answer. 8-(
Thanks Pat Tomaro OSD/Networks Customer support.

Supposedly, you can't get there from here. See my note 5193.x. What I am having to do is open the data file of trap info via an external procedure (DCL, in my case) and figuring out the ip address and ifIndex (the interface number). Then, using the collector interface, turn each particular reference icon red/green/etc. Good luck. Lee | |||||

Thanks for the references.
The curious thing is that the customer claims that he got this to work
with the field test version of mcc 1.3 for Ultrix. I guess it wouldn't
be the first time a customer reported seeing things work that are not
plugged in. Must be poltergeist. 8-)
