EMS snmp traps

[JeanPaul van der voort_1]

Hello,

I have a HP-UX lclass B.11.00 U 9000/800 L2000-44 system running EMS and I think I have some problems sending snmp traps when an event is generated. I configured monitor requests with the monconfig tool. I've added a request for all monitors with criteria threshold
"INFORMATION", criteria operator ">=" and
notification method "SNMP". I did this again for notification method "TEXTLOG" (/var/opt/resmon/log/event.log).
The snmpd is running. The snmpd.conf file has a dest-trap entry which is set to my desktop system and a communitystring which is set to public. The registrar is running, emsagent and several monitors (dm_memory, disk_em, dm_core_hw, etc), diagmond, diaglogd are also running.
When I use the tool send_test_event -va disk_em I see information in the eventlog file and my snmp-trap-test-application on my desktop receives the trap, which looks something like this:

------------ TRAP INFORMATION ------------
Community : sendtrap
Enterprise : 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.1.7
Agent address : 193.67.87.41
Generic type : 6
Source adr : 193.67.87.41
Specific type : 5
Time stamp : 7457033
Source port : 49339


So it seems to work. When I remove one of my disks, event information appears in the tail on eventlog and the testapp receives the trap. But when I remove one of the three fans I receive nothing in the eventlog. The same if I remove two fans, block the rotating blades with a plastic spoon and put them back. Also when I remove two of the three powercables I still wont see event information in the eventlog or traps in the testapp. Is this normal or did I configure something wrong.

JeanPaul,

You should examine the monitor specific configuration file to see on what kind of condition a notifications is generated by ems. In case of the fans it should be the dm_core monitor.
you will see the setting name REQUIRE_REDUNDANCY eq. 1 read the explanation within the file to solve you problem or the docs on:
