Systems Insight Manager 6.1 User Guide

• The Category field is used to logically group similar events for display purposes in Systems Insight
Manager. These groups are shown when you create event lists and when configuring Automatic Event
Handling. This is extremely helpful when wanting to group specific networking, storage, and other traps
to be easily found in the user interface. This field corresponds to the #CATEGORY keyword in the CFG
files.
• The Enable/Disable field can be toggled to support or suppress events on a per-trap basis. HP
recommends that all traps remain Enabled and are only disabled when they are well-understood and
can be ignored without any impact. By disabling a specific trap, you are telling Systems Insight Manager
to ignore that trap once received. If a trap is disabled, then the trap is dropped and not logged in the
database. This field corresponds to the #ENABLE keyword in the CFG files.
