At that point a suitable event is generated in HPSIM.

I have a W2000 dektop with a SMART drive error but it only shows on the system hardware status as major, no event was sent so my event rule never mailed the desktops group.<BR /><BR />thanks Tue, 04 Oct 2005 13:14:09 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/client-sending-events/m-p/3641731#M15291 Alex_439 2005-10-04T13:14:09Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/client-sending-events/m-p/3641732#M15292 Yes.<BR />On the client something needs to detect the error, e.g. an Agent of some kind.<BR />This should then generate the SNMP Trap, which is delivered to where the SNMP Service has Traps directed to.<BR />On HPSIM, the SNMP Trap needs to be decoded by a loaded MIB, typically pre-installed for all of the HP Products.
