The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Generate SNMP Trap w/ Script

Zones: Perl Programming Language, Scripting Languages, Shell Scripting
Tags: Perl, SNMP, Trap, Script, UNIX
This is the first script I have written (currently a UNIX Shell script still need to convert to Perl) and I have the script currently pulling the data needed and now based off the data (Online/Offline status) need to generate an SNMP trap if the data returns "Offline" as a value.  I will also need to generate a listener/forwarder to be built into this script as well because I will be relaying the SNMP Trap through 1 other system before it will hit our OpenView Server.  I did some searching and found some snippets for listeners (I need a forwarder) and nothing in regards to scripting a Trap generator.

The output looks like such:
###################### KeepAlive_App ############################
ONLINE
ONLINE
###################### OWTls_app ######################
ONLINE
ONLINE
###################### OWTls_IPMultiNICB ######################
ONLINE
ONLINE
###################### OWTls_MultiNICB ######################
ONLINE
ONLINE
###################### OWTlsdg ######################
ONLINE
ONLINE
###################### OWTlsmnt ######################
ONLINE
ONLINE

If any of these values were to report Offline I would want to generate an SNMP trap to forward to the OpenView server (through 1 other system) just stating that node is down.  Any ideas?  I really just need to be pointed in the right direction to get this started.  Thanks.
