Paging message

[David Hulse]

Is there a way to change the message sent by CIM7 to an alphanumeric pager?

I have HP Rack and Power Manager running on one server forwarding SNMP traps to another server running CIM7, and have configured a query and task in CIM7 to page me when Major events are recieved. However, the paged message always shows the event as coming from the RPM server, not the true alerting device.

If I view the event in CIM7, it shows as having originated at the RPM server, although the trap information contains the true alerting device name.

Please help, or I am stuck having to re-install CiRAM.Lite (not a good option). I am familiar with editing the SQL tables if this is necessary.

Another option is to use the Application Launch feature.
You could write a script, I typically use perl, and craft the messsage to be how you want.
There are a range of variables the Launched Application has access to and they're documented in the IM Technical Reference Guide.

I use this to send e-mails to an automatical fault logging system, the e-mail needs to be structured in a particular way and using the Application Launch feature has solved that.
