Modify IBM Alerts in HPSIM

Barry Hyronimus — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 19:24:58 GMT

I have my IBM servers sending traps to the HPSIM however they all come across as informational. Is there a way to modify the mib or configure it so that HPSIM understands the value of the alert. For example I pulled the Powersupply and replaced it I got 2 alerts one with a value of 2 for Critical and one with a value of 1 for OK. However they both show as informational in HPSIM

You can try under Options -> Events -> SNMP Trap Settings find the MIP and change the value there.

Maybe this white paper might help...

Both answers will get me going. The only problem I see is that some of the traps must be dynamic. After the adjustments a powersupply insert is now a critical vs informational. In the IBM Director product it looks at the severity result in the trap and logs it as critical or informational.
But I think I can live with it..

Thanks
