HP Systems Insight Manager - Manual (Page 145)

Drive Status: FAILED
Serial Number: WS7000134715
Using the $Hdr keyword in conjunction with $! to further customize the display could be as follows:
--#MSG_FORMATTER "$! $Hdr#The # $V1V#system # $Hdr#had the following #
$V3V#Drive Status:# $Hdr#. The system Serial Number # $V9V#is #
$Hdr#.#"
The e-mail or pager output would be:
The system Cronus had the following Drive Status: failed. The system
Serial Number is WS7000134715
IMPORTANT: For the TYPE, CATEGORY, and MSG_FORMATTER keywords described above,
the value for these keywords must be encapsulated in quotes, such as xxx for the mxmib to
successfully register the MIB in question. Other keywords such as SEVERITY and ENABLE do not
require quoted values.
SNMP Trap Settings page
The SNMP Trap Settings page has the capability to modify the attributes of any trap that has been
registered with the Systems Insight Manager database. The attributes that are available for
modification include the short and long descriptions, severity, category, and the trap enable/disable
flag. Use the interface on this page to first select the registered MIB containing the trap in which
you are interested, and then select the specific trap you wish to modify.
Fields can be modified as follows:
•
The Description field is the long description stating the nature of the trap. The Description field
is used on the Event detail page and can be included in paging and e-mail notifications. This
field corresponds to the DESCRIPTION keyword in the CFG files.
•
The Event Type field is the short description and is used as the display string when viewing a
list of events. The event type can also be used as part of a paging or e-mail notification. Event
type fields have been custom-created for all of the HP ProLiant hardware events. However,
for many other MIBs they have not been customized. Tailoring this field to present a clear
message is crucial for presenting meaningful event data in Systems Insight Manager. This field
corresponds to the #TYPE keyword in the CFG files.
•
The Severity field can be set to CRITICAL, MAJOR, MINOR, or INFORMATIONAL. The default
is INFORMATIONAL when no other severity has been set by the base MIB. Many vendors
have different severities specified in their MIBs such as Normal, Warning, Degraded, Broken,
etc. These severities need to be changed in the base MIB or CFG to one that matches Systems
Insight Manager. For example, Degraded can be mapped to Minor or Major, depending on
the degradation. Editing the MIB or CFG and doing a search/replace on the severities is the
easiest way to tweak the MIB. This field corresponds to the #SEVERITY keyword in the CFG
files.
•
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 Trap Handling 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.
