Good day, I'm running MCC BMS V1.2 on VMS V5.5-1 (Motif V1.1). Here's my domain hierarchy: Mohawk / / VAO / \ / \ CLUSTER Node4 nodes and MHO_DC data collector / / Node4 nodes and Reference entities (HSC000 and HSC001) So, I created a notify request (using IMPM) in the form of: Notify Domain VAO entity list = (Collector *), Event = (Any event) When I use MCC_EVC_SEND (from SYS$EXAMPLES) to notify an entity in the CLUSTER domain, the VAO domain icon changes color (and the notification show up in the notification window), BUT the sub-domains (CLUSTER) and the entity specified (HSC000) do *not* change color... What am I missing? I thought that the notification request would propagate to sub-domains (they are all dynamic). $ MCC_EVC_SEND my_node MHO_DC "REFERENCE .ref.HSC000" "DCM reporting" - "HSC problem" CRITICAL I can get the icon to change color by adding another data collector and notify request in the CLUSTER domain, but then I get two notifications (one from VAO and another from CLUSTER). Any ideas/hints how to make this work? All I want is one notification and the icon to change color... Thanks, Ed

3381.1 | collector and target entity need to be in same domain | TOOK::S_KO | Hoot mon! | Tue Jul 21 1992 18:54 | 24 |

To get the target entity of a collection event to change color, it must be in the same domain as the collector receiving the event. >> I can get the icon to change color by adding another data collector and notify >> request in the CLUSTER domain, but then I get two notifications (one from VAO >> and another from CLUSTER). If the same collector is a member of multiple domains, each domain will report notification of events that the collector receives. You can avoid this by creating unique collectors for each domain. Hope this helps. -s | |||||
3381.2 | Lots of collectors OK? | KAOFS::BOIVIN | Moi, j'viens du nord! | Wed Jul 22 1992 17:32 | 21 |
3381.3 | only 1 process | RACER::dave | Attending The School of Comparative Irrevelevance | Thu Jul 23 1992 12:23 | 4 |
Remember that a data collector is, basically, a data structure. There is still only one process that is actually getting the events. We are using the data collector (along with reference icons) to drive the new demo that is being developed for V1.2 ("The Canned Demo"). | |||||
3381.4 | 18 collectors works well | CTHQ3::WOODCOCK | Thu Jul 23 1992 12:41 | 5 | |
For the record, we also have built a monitor using collectors/reference entities to help us manage the tymnet based WATN network. The domain structure has only 18 collectors but all is working very well so far. brad... |
