Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Configure Enrichment Settings for an SNMP Trap Incident
[This is the Context-Sensitive Help topic for the Incident Config: Suppress Tab for all Incident Configurations.]
For information about each SNMP Traps tab: See Also
For information about each Enrichment tab: See Also
NNMi enables you to fine tune and enhance incidents based on Interface Group, Node Group, or default Enrichment settings. NNMi applies your Enrichment settings in the following order. Only the first match applies:
- Interface Group (SNMP Trap Configuration Form: Interface Settings tab)
- Node Group (SNMP Trap Configuration Form: Node Settings tab)
- Enrich configuration settings without specifying an Interface Group or Node Group (SNMP Trap Configuration Form: Enrichment tab)
The types of items you can fine tune and enhance for a selected incident configuration, include:
- Category
- Family
- Severity
- Priority
- Correlation Nature
- Message
- Assigned To
Note Any configuration you specify for Severity, Priority, or Message overrides those values provided in the SNMP Trap Configuration Form: Basics information.
You can also add a Custom Incident Attribute that is provided by NNMi to the incoming incident.
Note You cannot create Custom Incident Attributes.
When configuring Interface Settings, Node Settings, or other Suppress Configuration, Enrich Configuration, or Dampening configuration settings for an incident, you can specify a Payload Filter. Payload Filters enables you to use the data that is included with any of the following items before they are stored as incidents in NNMi:
- Traps generated from an SNMP agent
- Syslog Messages
- Management incidents that are generated by NNMi
Examples of the type of data that can be used as a Payload Filter include SNMP trap varbind names and values as well as Management Event CIA (Custom Incident Attribute) names and values. For example, you might want NNMi to enrich an incident based on a particular status change notification trap and participation within a specified Node Group or Interface Group. To do so, you would first specify participation in the Node Group or Interface Group for the trap you want to enrich. You would also specify a Payload Filter that includes the name of the trap varbind that stores the status information as well as the status change value string of interest.
See Configure Incident Enrichment Settings for an Interface Group (SNMP Trap Incident) for information about how to enrich an incident for an Interface Group with or without a Payload Filter.
See Configure Incident Enrichment Settings for a Node Group (SNMP Trap Incident) for more information about how to enrich an incident for a Node Group with or without a Payload Filter.
To configure Enrichment settings for an incident using a Payload Filter without an Interface Group or Node Group Filter:
-
Navigate to the SNMP Trap Configuration form:
- From the workspace navigation panel, select the Configuration workspace.
- Expand the Incidents folder.
- Select SNMP Trap Configurations .
- Do one of the following:
- To create an incident configuration, click the New icon, and continue.
- To edit an incident configuration, select a row, click the Open icon, and continue.
- To delete an incident configuration, select a row and click the Delete icon.
- Select the Enrichment tab.
-
Do one of the following:
- To create a new configuration, click the New icon.
- To edit an existing configuration, select a row, click the Open icon, and continue.
- Provide the required information (see table)
- Click Save and Close to save your changes and return to the previous form.
Name | Description |
---|---|
Category |
Use the Category attribute to customize the category for this incident configuration. Possible values include:
|
Family |
Use the Family attribute to customize the Family for this incident configuration. Select from the drop-down list or create a new value. For example, some of the values provided by NNMi include:
|
Severity |
The incident Severity represents the seriousness calculated for the incident. Use the Severity attribute to specify the severity that should be assigned to the incident you are configuring. Possible values are described below: Normal - Indicates there are no known problems related to the associated object. This Severity is meant to be informational. Generally, no action is needed for these incidents. Warning - Indicates there might be a problem related to the associated object. Minor - Indicates NNMi has detected problems related to the associated object that require further investigation. Major - Indicates NNMi has detected problems related to the associated object to be resolved before they become critical. Critical - Indicates NNMi has detected problems related to the associated object that require immediate attention. |
Priority |
Used to communicate the urgency of resolving the selected incident. You control this value. NNMi sets this value to null by default. The lower the number the higher the priority. Possible values are: None Low Medium High Top Note: The icons are displayed only in table views. |
Correlation Nature |
Use the Correlation Nature to customize the Correlation Nature for this incident configuration. Possible values include:
|
Message Format |
When configuring an incident, specify how the incident message appears in the incident view. The string you specify in the Message Format attribute is visible in an incident view. The incident message limit is 1024 characters. If you exceed this limit, NNMi truncates the value starting from the right. You can use any combination of default and custom attributes. Valid Parameters for Configuring Incident Messages (SNMP Trap Incident) Include Custom Incident Attributes in Your Message Format (SNMP Trap Incident) |
Assigned To |
Use to specify the owner of any incident generated for this incident configuration. Click the Lookup icon and select Quick Find to select a valid user name. Note You can also begin to type a valid user name and use the auto-complete feature to select the user name of interest. |
Description |
Use the Description attribute to provide additional information that you want to note about the current enhancement configuration. This description applies only to the enhancement configuration and does not appear when NNMi displays any associated incident. Type a maximum of 1024 characters. Alpha-numeric and special characters (~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _+ -) are permitted. |
