Network Node Manager

[Pierre Benjamin]

I'm interested in setting up a paging system for event alarms in OpenView. Where can I find a sample of the trapd.conf file that has a paging feature.

Pierre,

It's very Simple. In the Event Configuration (ie. Options->Event Configuration) select the Enterprise Identification which you want to work with.

Then underneath it, select the correct Event Identification (you can also select the event from the Event Broswer and and configure it from the Event Browser directly).

All you need to do then is to add an Automatic Action (any command - even E-Mail will work) to have the message sent to your pager. I hope that this is helpful for you.

Pierre, if you go into Event Configuration page and select the help button, there are examples of automatic action variables, such as email and paging. Go into Options, SNMP configuration and you can change polling interval there.

Configure automatic action:
Options
Event configuration
Double click Openview (for example)
double click OV_Node_Down
In the command for automatic action, here are some examples"

(click HELP, Command for Automatic Action,
*Example 1: Send mail:

Type the following command, all on one line, in the Command for
Automatic Action field:
echo 'Subject:Trap ReceivednA trap received from
enterprise $E with $# args:n$*' | /usr/lib/sendmail
'root@corp' The 'Subject:' line will cause a subject
to be inserted into the mail message.

* Example 2:
Dial beeper on a HP 95LX:
Type the following command, all on one line, in the Command for
Automatic Action field:
/opt/OV/contrib/NNM/beeper/beep_95lx 555-1234 123456
2001

* Example 3: Set an object's status color:

Type the following command, all on one line, in the Command for
Automatic Action field:
/opt/OV/contrib/NNM/setStatus/setStatus $A Testing
This event status color change will be overwritten by the ipmap
process if the object is managed by NNM. It is suggested that a
symbol in the object's submap be modified instead. See the
trapd.conf(4) manpage for a discussion of the parameters used in
an snmptrap command to change the status color of an object on
the map.
