I have been banging my head against this for over two days, and I assume there *must* be an easy way to do this. I simply want to have notifications include the ifAlias from a cisco device's interface along with it's ifDescr. In other words, I have hundreds of ports on dozens of routers and switches, and "Big_Router Serial2/0/1:0 snmp_LinkDown" isn't anywhere as useful as "Big_Router Serial2/0/1:0 Eddy's Fast Cars is down." While this is mostly an issue because cisco decided that including useful info in their traps wasn't worthwhile, it's also an issue because I cannot find an easy way to do this with Zenoss.
I've looked at scripting this as well as using event transforms and have yet to get what I need. Zenoss obviously already understands that there is an ifAlias tied to each interface - this is the default behavior when modeling - so how can I use getattr or similar to learn this info? Worst case scenario, is there a way to assign a variable the value of an snmpget via transforms or rules in the even classes? I've tried braindead things like evt.component = `snmpget -vxxx -cxxx ipAddress.ifIndex` and needless to say that didn't work either. Anyone have any idea what I can do here? -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=17235#17235 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
