Using the NNMi Northbound Interface

When the NNMi northbound interface is enabled, the northbound destination determines the information that NNMi sends to a northbound application. Configure the northbound application to show and interpret the forwarded traps, as appropriate in your network environment. For complete information about the contents and format of the traps that NNMi sends to a northbound application, see the hp-nnmi-nbi.mib and hp-nnmi-registration.mib files.

NNMi sends only one copy of each management event, SNMP trap, or notification trap to a northbound destination. NNMi does not queue traps. If the trap-receiving component of a northbound application is unavailable when NNMi forwards a trap, the trap is lost.

This section describes the types of traps the integration can send. For information about setting the content configuration, see NNMi Northbound Interface Integration Content.
