Internal HP Traps
Example: traps originating from netmon
Resolving Localhost IP Addresses
By default, intercepted traps whose source address is the local host
address (127.0.0.1) are forwarded to the management server with that
address. If you want intercepted traps of this type to be forwarded to the
management server with the local host address replaced by the resolved
IP address of the node processing the trap, perform the following on
HTTPS-based managed nodes:
Use the ovconfchg command-line tool as follows:
ovconfchg -ns eaagt -set OPC_RESOLVE_TRAP_LOCALHOST TRUE
Intercepting Distributed Events
HPOM Distributed Event Interception enables you to intercept SNMP
traps on systems other than the HP Operations management server.
Intercepting these SNMP traps provides performance benefits by
allowing the local processing of messages. Automatic actions, for
example, can be triggered and executed directly on the node or in the
subnet, instead of being first forwarded to the management server.
Configuring HPOM Distributed Event Interception
HPOM Distributed Event Interception has two configurations:
❏
Basic Configuration
To set up the basic configuration, follow these steps:
1. Configure SNMP destinations or NNM collection stations.
Make sure that SNMP devices have only one SNMP destination,
or that there is only one system serving as the NNM collection
station for the management server (preferably, the collection
station connected through the fastest network).
Set the destination systems for SNMP devices on HP-UX and
Solaris nodes in the /etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf file with
the following statement:
trap_dest:
84
