SNMP Traps not forwarded by HPSIM server

Köhne — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 12:12:28 GMT

Certain SNMP traps are not forwarded by HPSIM server! Why?

I have checked:

- Mib loaded

- Enable Trap Handling=YES

- system managed

- traps shows up in HPSIM event view

- traps are shown in task results at automated event handling.

- snmp trap receiver is up ad running and processing same traps from different HPSIM server!

- HPSIM server sends forwards other traps

It is our own trap.

Here is the MIB file:

The RWE events are correctly shown within HPSIM:

Event Details: (SNMP) rweHPSIMHeartbeat

Event Identification and Details

Event Severity Informational Cleared Status Cleared Event Source s010a0035 Associated System s010a0035 Associated System Status Normal Event Time Mittwoch, 15.05.2013, 11:13 MESZ Description Heartbeat for HPSIM2TEC Event Category Status Events Assignee Comments

Trap Details

Variable Description Value NO DATA Version of Heartbeat script. 1.0

Mib Information The associated MIB File Name for this trap is rwe.mib and the MIB identifier RWE-MIB

They also trigger the "Automatic Event Handling" task which forwrds the traps to our SNMP receiver. The same task works for other HPSIM traps!!!

Apparently all client traps are not forwarded, HPSIM server traps (e.g. "System not available") are forwarded.

Very strange problem!

Hi,

Has anyone had any luck in finding a resolution for this issue? I am having the exact same problem on one of our systems. All System Insight Manager traps are forwarded to the external system, but traps from all other MIBs are not forwarded (but do appear in HP-SIM event list)

I would appreciate any updates on any actions taken by others to resolve this issue.

Thanks!
