Configuring HPOM
About Preconfigured Elements
Correlating Events
The runtime engine for HPOM event-correlation is available for the HP
Operations management server and the HP Operations agent. See the
HPOM Installation Guide for the Management Server for a list of
platforms on which the runtime engine currently runs.
For more information about the concepts behind event correlation, as
well as the way event correlation works in HPOM, see the HPOM
Concepts Guide. For help in setting up event correlation in HPOM, see
the HPOM Administrator’s Guide to Online Information.
Encapsulating Logfiles
For detailed information about encapsulated logfiles, see the template in
the HPOM GUI.
NOTE
The templates are configured to collect information from logfiles that are
produced by standard installations. If you are monitoring a non-standard
installation, you should modify the templates to suit your particular
needs.
Intercepting SNMP Traps and Events
For details about which traps are intercepted by default, see the SNMP
trap templates in the Message Source Templates window of the HPOM
administrator GUI. By default, HPOM intercepts SNMP traps from any
application sending traps to the opctrapi daemon running on the
management server. HPOM also intercepts SNMP traps on all managed
nodes where the trap daemon (ovtrapd) is running, or where port 162 can
be accessed directly.
See the HPOM Installation Guide for the Management Server for a list of
platforms on which the SNMP event interceptor is currently supported.
Types of Traps that Can Be Intercepted
The following kinds of traps can be intercepted:
