Configuring the Auto-Trim Oldest SNMP Trap Incidents Feature

To keep NNMi performing at a high level, NNMi drops incoming SNMP traps (including syslog messages) after storing a specific number of SNMP traps in its database. You can use the auto-trim oldest SNMP trap incidents feature to control the number of SNMP traps stored in the NNMi database and to retain important incoming SNMP traps.

Note NNMi trims only non-root cause SNMP Trap incidents.

The auto-trim oldest SNMP trap incidents feature defaults to being disabled. After enabling the auto-trim oldest SNMP trap incidents feature, NNMi removes the oldest SNMP trap incidents from the NNMi database.

Tip To manually trim SNMP trap incidents from the NNMi database, use the nnmtrimincidents.ovpl script. See the nnmtrimincidents.ovpl reference page, or the Linux manpage, for more information.
