Forwarding Events
as SNMP Traps
By selecting an event in the Event Generation dialog box, you can choose
to forward the event as an SNMP trap to your own Open Management
Platform (for example, HP OpenView or SunNet Manager).
The Event Generation dialog box allows you to configure the following:
■
The severity of events generated by event rules. This allows you to
assign different severities to various rules, so that event rules which
you consider to be unimportant generate events of “Information”
level severity (the least severe), while event rules which you consider to
be important generate events of higher severity.
■
You can choose to enable/disable events generated by rules and
system-generated events of different severities. Therefore, if you are
not interested in the informational events from the Collector, for
example, you can disable them.
Configuring Traffix Manager to Forward Events as SNMP Traps
Select an event in the the Event Generation dialog box to forward as an
SNMP trap to your own Open Management Platform (OMP). You can
enter the trap destination as an IP address or DNS name. The generated
event appears in the event viewer for the OMP.
Integrating Traffix
Manager SNMP Traps
with HP OpenView
This section gives an example of how to integrate Traffix Manager SNMP
Traps forwarded from the Event List with HP OpenView. At the time of
writing, the Traffix Manager Event forwarding feature uses the 3Com
RMON Event Trigger SNMP Trap PDU (Specific ID 82).
Configuring an Open Management Platform (OMP)
This example refers to HP OpenView Network Node Manager 6.0 for
Windows NT. Alarms are generated when Network Node Manager
receives events.

steps:
a Click Event Configuration in the Options menu to open the Event
Configuration dialog box.
