EVENTS not being received

[techiesupportie]

I am having problems receiving events for any of our servers. When I run manage communications I get the following message which says to me that HP Sim should receive events. I ran a test WBEM event but it did not appear as a event. It does appear in the servers event log though. Can anyone let me know why events are not registering within hpsim?

System(s) have been successfully identified.   Applies to genericserver

The Central Management Server (CMS) is able to receive events from the system(s).   Applies to genericserver

Hi,

From my experience - running a WBEM test event will only appear in the local server event log - not on the CMS.

Do your managed systems use SNMP? - are they HP machines? - if yes then you can set up the SNMP community strings, the destination (CMS) and the string security and then send a test trap from the SMH on the managed system(s).

Hope this helps - let me know how it goes....

Regards,

Steve.B.

I have also set HPSIM to alert me on any event. I have ran the test e-mail and it works fine.

E-mail alerts are working. The issue is its not receiving the trap to then send on the alert? Can anyone help with what settings i need to check?

OK,

If you are using WBEM providers then traps are not relevant. Basically, if you run the wbem test event and it appears in the event log but not the CMS event list for that server then your CMS has not created a WMI subscription for that server. To do this, select the server in the CMS and subscribe as follows. You can verify by running the 'mxwbemsub command'

I have just tried this. I get a event on the servers system log but i do not see anything under the server  events on HPSIM.

Can you post the output of the 'Subscribe to WBEM events' command you just ran?
