If you are monitoring Windows servers with Proliant Support Pack installed, you can test as follows:
1. From the managed server's Start->Settings->Control Panel, double click on HP Management Agents. Click on SNMP settings, and click "Send Test Trap". Take note of the time stamp.
The managed server will send a test trap to the trap destination specified in the SNMP Service Trap Destination (which should be the SIM server running IRSA)
2. From the SIM server, click on the All Events link under System and Event Collections. You should see at least one event titled "Generic trap (11003)" with a time stamp that is similar to when you sent the test trap from the managed server.
At this point, this means that SNMP traps are getting to the SIM server properly, but this does NOT mean that WEBES has done its job yet.
3. Start another web browser and point to https://(name of your SIM server):7906 and login to the System Event Analyser for WEBES. Click on the 3 icon from the left, which is the WEBES notification status icon.
If WEBES has intercepted that test SNMP trap that you sent and processed it properly, you should see an entry with a Description "cpqHo2GenericTrap" and a Date stamp similar to when you sent the snmp test trap. If the Status says "Delivered: HPSIM, ISEE, SMTP, LOG, SNMP, EVT, etc", this means that WEBES has sent an alert back to HP's backend.
4. (Optional) If you have access to AMC, you should be able to verify that the WEBES notification has been received at HP's backend.
5. If you go back to the All Events screen on the SIM server, you should now see an entry that says "A Service Incident has been reported (Type 2)". You might even see another one says (Type 4).
When you see this, you know that WEBES is working properly.
