SNMP Event Configuration
SNMP traps are configured using the SNMP Trap Templates. An SNMP
Trap Template is automatically generated by a conversion command that
takes the NNM SNMP Event Configuration as input. By using the
SNMP Trap Template, the following additional features are available for
customers migrating from NNM:
❏ VPO provides automatic and operator-initiated actions which can be
started on demand by authorized operators. Actions can be performed
on the management server or on any VPO managed node running the
agent software. The status of an action is visible in the VPO message
browser (running, failed or successful) and the output of the action
can be attached to the message as an annotation.
❏ Instructions can be attached to a VPO message which can either be
statically configured for each condition or template, or dynamically
created using the Instruction Text Interface. For a detailed
description, see “Adding Instructions, Annotations, Automatic- and
Operator-initiated Actions” on page 136.
❏ Messages are stored in the central database, and both standard and
user-customized reports can be generated.
❏ A Duplicate Message Suppression function supports the following:
• Suppression configuration at a template and/or condition level
• Suppression of identical messages or messages matching the
respective condition
• Duplicate message re-transmission based on time intervals and/or
counter
❏ The Server or Agent Message Stream Interface (MSI) API enables
messages to be diverted or copied to external applications like event
correlation systems.
