Control which Incoming Traps Are Visible in Incident Views

You can configure devices in your network environment to send traps to the NNMi management server. To configure how NNMi handles those traps, use the incident configurations provided by NNMi, create your own, or both. See Configure SNMP Trap Incidents for information about how to configure SNMP traps as incidents. See SNMP Trap Incident Configurations Provided by NNMi for information about the incident configurations provided by NNMi.

  • To establish this communication flow, the SNMP agent (SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, or SNMPv3) must be intentionally configured by the device administrator to send SNMP traps to your NNMi management server.
  • Use the nnmtrapconfig.ovpl -dumpBlockList command to view information about the current incident configuration, including SNMP traps that were not passed into the incident pipeline because of non-existent or disabled incident configurations. See nnmtrapconfig.ovpl for more information.

To determine which SNMP trap incident configurations are Enabled in NNMi:

  1. Navigate to the SNMP Trap Incident Configurations view:

    1. Expand the Incidents folder.
    2. Select SNMP Trap Incident Configurations.
  2. Click to sort the Enabled column.

    Each SNMP trap Incident Configuration that is Enabled contains a check mark .

See SNMP Trap Incident Configurations Provided by NNMi for more information.

You can configure NNMi to ignore SNMP traps for objects that are not discovered as part of the NNMi topology. See Handle Unresolved Incoming Traps for more information.

  1. Select SNMP Trap Configurations .
  2. Double-click the row representing the configuration you want to edit.
