Custom Incident Attributes

NNMi uses custom incident attributes (CIAs) to attach additional information to incidents.

  • For an SNMP trap incident, NNMi stores the original trap varbinds as CIAs for the incident.
  • For a management event incident, NNMi adds pertinent information (for example, com.hp.ov.nms.apa.symptom) as CIAs for the incident.

You can use incident CIAs to narrow the scope of configurations such as incident lifecycle transition actions, suppression, deduplication, and enrichment. You can also use CIAs to narrow the availability of the menu items on the Actions menu for an incident view or form.

To determine which CIAs NNMi adds for any given incident, open a sample incident from an incident view, and look at the information on the Custom Attributes tab.
