NerveCenter 3.8.08

ncserver

Audit Trail enhancement.

Audit trail for node, poll, mask, alarm, opcmask, perlsub now logs to C:\Program Files\OpenService\NerveCenter\Log on Windows, and /opt/OSInc/userfiles/logs/ on Unix.

The following actions are logged into the file:

• Node: add/delete/update
  manage/unmanage propertyGroup
  suppress/unsuppress
  autodelete/no autodelete
• Alam: add/update/delete/on-off
• Poll: add/update/delete/on-off
• Mask: add/update/delete/on-off
• OpcMask: add/update/delete/on-off
• PerlSub: add/update/delete
• PropertyGroup: add/update/remove
• Property: add/remove

14472

Corrected ncserver.exe handling of failed 'client' login attempt.

14092

Corrected SNMP and ICMP error reponse handling.

Polling now correctly handles cases where an ICMP error reply is returned.

Functionality now matches NerveCenter 3.7.

14870

Improved SNMP and ICMP polling throughput.

Performance now matches throughput levels from in NC3.8.06.

Performance had been slowed in NC3.8.06B and NC3.8.07 in order to prevent stability issues in the request/response processing.

ncserver

Corrected check of Authentication Mode selection when polling SNMPv3 agents.

ovpa

Improved connection error handling within ovpa.exe.

13763

Improved "debug" ncserver.exe trace messages.

Tracing did not include messages for informs sent to OpenView.

ncserver.exe

paserver.exe

Support built-in enterprise scope trigger INFORM_CONNECTION_UP/DOWN when paserver connection is up or down.

Only Enterprise-scope alarms are affected

mibcomp

Improved mibcomp to avoid non-deterministic passing of internal files into final merge process.

mibcomp

Added -verbose command-line switch to mibcomp.

mibcomp

Re-introduced handling for NerveCenter 3.7 MIB file handling and generation.

• ncserver.exe can read the MIB file produced from either the NerveCenter 3.8 mibcomp or NerveCenter 3.7 mibcomp.
• Mibcomp.exe from NerveCenter 3.7 has been added to the release as mibcomp37.exe. Refer to the description of mibcomp from the NerveCenter 3.7 documentation for usage instructions.

mibcomp

Updated mibcomp37.exe to support newer UTC Timestamp format.

Newer MIB modules use the format "YYYYMMDD..." instead of the prior format "YYMMHHDD..." to state the year. The mibcomp.exe released in all versions of NerveCenter 3.7 does not support the newer four-position year field. The mibcomp37.exe for NerveCenter 3.8.08 allows the four-position year field.

trapgen

Trapgen.exe only allowed users to enter varbind types in lower case. This has been relaxed to allow upper or lower case letters for naming varbind types. The "INTEGER" in the following trapgen command can now be "Integer", "integer", "INTEGER", "INTeGeR", etc.:

"trapgen -v1 nms 1.3.6.1.4.178 nms 6 1 1212 1.3.6.1.4.1.78.1.1 INTEGER 33".

14565

Correct the ".ncdb" file produced by ncserver.exe or Serializedb.exe and then read by ncserver.exe and importutil.exe.

Lines being written to the output ".ncdb" file were being split every 512 characters.
