How to Collect Event Data from SNMP Traps

This task describes how to collect event data from SNMP traps.

  1. Prerequisite: Make sure the following applies:

    1. Your Operations Connector is configured to work with OMi by using the bsmc-conf tool.

    2. The certificate request is approved on the OMi side.

    3. Your Operations Connector is set up as a connected server in OMi.

  2. In the Operations Connector user interface, click Create in the toolbar, then click Event > SNMP SNMP Interceptor. The SNMP Trap Policy editor opens. 

    Alternatively, double-click an existing SNMP trap policy to edit it.

  3. In the Properties page, define information that is related to the policy itself (for example, the name and description of the policy).

  4. Optional. In the Default Event Attributes page, configure the default settings for all events generated by the policy (for example, default event correlation settings).

  5. In the Rules page, define what the policy should do in response to a specific type of event.

  6. In the Options page, configure several policy behaviors (for example, pattern matching options).

  7. Click Save and Close to save the policy and close the editor.

  8. Optional. If the list of policies does not refresh automatically in the Operations Connector user interface, click Refresh in the toolbar.

  9. Activate the SNMP trap policy to start the opctrapi process on the Operations Connector server.
