WARM vs COLD start TRAP

[John Bakoyannis]

We are trying to catch normal shutdown (warm start?) and shutdowns by power failure (cold start?) but the systems are sending only cold start traps to HP SIM. Any suggestions?
Thanks

There's no difference at that level, a Cold Start Trap is generated when the System Starts. It must be fairly early on but after SNMP is up and running.

If you go to the System you can see the Events associated with a Server. I use the System is Unreachable Event (Critical) to notify me of an outage.

I think you're going to need something that would pull the appropriate info. out of the System logs, e.g. windows Event Logs
