Configure Trap Forwarding Destinations

[This is the Context-Sensitive Help topic for the Incident Configuration: Trap Forwarding Destinations tab.]

Pre-requisite: Make sure you have used the NNMi nnmincidentcfg.ovpl command line utility to automatically create or update the incident configurations for the SNMP traps you want to include. See Load SNMP Trap Incident Configurations for more information. You must also create the Trap Forwarding Filters for the SNMP traps you want to forward. See Configure Trap Forwarding Filters for more information.

The Trap Forwarding Destinations tab enables you to specify the servers to which you want to forward SNMP traps. For example, you can configure NNMi to forward traps to a remote server that receives SNMP traps, such as an Operations Manager server or another NNMi management server. See Forward Traps to a Remote Server Example for more information. Use this tab to also specify the Trap Forwarding Filters to be used for this destination.

(NNMi Advanced) If this NNMi management server is a Regional Manager in your environment, see also Configure Forward to Global Manager Settings for an SNMP Trap Incident (NNMi Advanced).

Note See Manage Incoming SNMP Traps for information about the criteria NNMi uses to determine when to receive or discard traps.

To configure Trap Forwarding Destinations:

  1. Select the Trap Forwarding Destinations tab.
  2. Do one of the following:

    • To create an SNMP Trap Forwarding Destination configuration, click the  New icon, and continue.
    • To edit an SNMP Trap Forwarding Destination configuration, click the  Open icon in the row representing the configuration you want to edit, and continue.
    • To delete an SNMP Trap Forwarding Destination configuration, click the  Delete icon.
  3. In the Trap Forwarding Destination Form, provide the required information.
  4. Do one of the following:

    • To create an SNMP Trap Forwarding Filter configuration, click the  New icon, and continue.
    • To edit an SNMP Trap Forwarding Filter configuration, click the  Open icon in the row representing the configuration you want to edit, and continue.
    • To delete an SNMP Trap Forwarding Filter configuration, click the  Delete icon.
  5. In the Destination Filter Form, provide the required information.
  6. Click  Save and Close to save your changes and return to the Trap Forwarding Configuration form.

The next time a trap that passes the Trap Forwarding Filter arrives, NNMi forwards the trap to the specified Trap Forwarding Destination.
