NNMi Northbound Interface Integration Content

Lifecycle State Changes

The incident change notification specification.

• Enhanced Closed

  NNMi sends an incident closed trap to the northbound application for each incident that changes to the CLOSED lifecycle state.
  This is the default configuration.
  

• State Changed

  NNMi sends an incident lifecycle state changed trap to the northbound application for each incident that changes to the IN PROGRESS, COMPLETED, or CLOSED lifecycle state.
  

• Both

  NNMi sends an incident closed trap to the northbound application for each incident that changes to the CLOSED lifecycle state. Additionally, the integration sends an incident lifecycle state changed trap to the northbound application for each incident that changes to the IN PROGRESS, COMPLETED, or CLOSED lifecycle state.

  Note In this case, each time an incident changes to the CLOSED lifecycle state, the integration sends two notification traps: an incident closed trap and an incident lifecycle state changed trap.
  

For more information, see Incident Lifecycle State Change Notifications.

Correlations

The incident correlation notification specification.

• None

  NNMi does not notify the northbound application of incident correlations resulting from NNMi causal analysis.
  This is the default configuration.
  

• Single

  NNMi sends a trap for each parent-child incident correlation relationship resulting from NNMi causal analysis.
  

• Group

  NNMi sends one trap per correlation that lists all child incidents correlated to a parent incident.
  

For more information, see Incident Correlation Notifications.

Deletions

The incident deletion specification. This selection configures whether to send a deletion trap to the northbound application for the selections made in the Incidents field.

• Don’t Send

  NNMi does not notify the northbound application when incidents are deleted in NNMi.
  This is the default configuration.
  

• Send

  NNMi sends a deletion trap to the northbound application for each incident that is deleted in NNMi.
  

For more information, see Incident Deletion Notifications.

NNMi Console Access

The connection protocol specification in the URL for browsing to the NNMi console from the northbound application. The traps that NNMi sends to the northbound application include the NNMi URL in the NmsUrl varbind (1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.17.19.2.2.2).

The configuration page defaults to the setting that matches the NNMi configuration.

If the NNMi console is configured to accept both HTTP and HTTPS connections, you can change the HTTP connection protocol specification in the NNMi URL. For example, if all users of the northbound application are on the intranet, you can set NNMi console access from the northbound application to be over HTTP. To change the protocol for connecting to the NNMi console from the northbound application, select the HTTP option or the HTTPS option as appropriate.

Incident Filters

A list of object identifiers (OIDs) the integration uses to filter the events sent to the northbound application. Each filter entry can be a valid numeric OID (for example, .1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.4.1.3.6.1.4.1.9) or OID prefix (for example, .1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.*).

Select one of the following options:

• None

  NNMi sends all events to the northbound application.
  This is the default configuration.
  

• Include

  NNMi sends only the specific events that match the OIDs identified in the filter.
  

• Exclude

  NNMi sends all events except for the specific events that match the OIDs identified in the filter.
  

Specify the incident filter:

• To add a filter entry, enter the text in the lower text box, and then click Add.
• To delete a filter entry, select that entry from the list in the upper box, and then click Remove.
