Management Agents Trap Format

[Matt Bance]

Can someone point me in the direction for unstanding how to "lookup" and HP agent trap. The OID is being reported as being Enterprise.232.x where x is a large number not in the MIB. Am I missing something?

I'm not clear on what you're asking or what you're trying to do.

If you have IM installed, select a device and then you can use the SNMP Explorer which will show the values from various MIBs.

Sorry it wasn;t very clear was it. I'll try again.

Insight Manager polls devices for information and this is done by default every 5 minutes. Therefore if for example a disk fails I have to wait a maximum of 5 minutes to find out.

But i've noticed that a snmp trap is also sent when the event occurs. This is more helpful for me as I need to forward these traps into a Helpdesk system. The problem is that these traps don't contain OID's from the compaq MIB's. The actual OID's are

1.3.6.1.4.1.232.16016
1.3.6.1.4.1.232.16022

I need to look these up for a meaningful explanation or text string.

I have a look at SNMP explorer but the entries are list by name and i need to list them by OID

Any ideas?

I don't know if this helps, but I've attached a text file with some MIB info. The MIB chart is about 5 or 6 pages down. This comes from the Management CD in the Toolkit folder. There are also other MIB details in there if you'd like to take a look around. Maybe this will narrow down the search for the sysoid.
Good luck,
Ed

Two possible approaches, one is to drop the Polling Interval down.
For our Servers, I've dropped this to 1 minute with no noticeable impact on the IM Server.
Then you'll get a pretty quick result.

The Other is the application launch feature. You can configure an Application Launch to be triggered by an Uncleared Event (Critical, major etc.)
You could then use the data in the variables passed through to the application to tailor a particular message.

The IM Docs on Application Launch are quite extensive.
