SNMP Event type - "(SNMP)"

Jeff_L — Thu, 08 May 2008 20:35:24 GMT

I just installed sim 5.2. When I first installed it, this wasn't an issue, but now when I open SNMP Trap Settings, every single event now has "(SNMP)" appended to the front. This is getting passed through in the email notifications as well. Does anybody know how I can remove that? Its an annoyance to have the subject line of every event email include that.

Example: (SNMP) Generic trap (11003)

Thanks

When both SNMP and WBEM/WMI are discovered on a device, this is used to distinguish the source of the event. Events that originate from WBEM will say (WBEM).

Thanks David.

If I have WBEM turned off in my global protocal settings, why would it still discover WBEM on the device? Does that setting prevent a server from being discovered as having WBEM or purely for receiving WBEM events?

You might try reinitializing (or whatever they call it) your MIBS after your upgrade.

When u disable WBEM it doesn't search for WBEM.
anyways u have no WMI specified i m sure as wel as u didnt specify WBEM credential.

You can verify that by going on device system page and see "Product Description" ->Management Protocols; see WBEM wont be there.

Thanks for the responses, but I still have the problem.

I have verified that WBEM is turned off. On discovered systems, I can verify that for management protocols, WBEM does not show up thus confirming it is off. But why do the email notifications I receive from SIM5.2 always contain "(SNMP)" in the subject line while my SIM5.1 implementation does not do this. I am running the 7.90mibs package on my SIM5.1 system.
