Encapsulating Logfiles
For detailed information about encapsulated logfiles, see the template in
the OVO 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 OVO
administrator GUI. By default, OVO intercepts SNMP traps from any
application sending traps to the opctrapi daemon running on the
management server. OVO also intercepts SNMP traps on all managed
nodes where the OV trap daemon (ovtrapd) is running, or where port 162
can be accessed directly.
See the OVO 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:
❏ Well-defined Traps
Example: system coldstart, network interface up/down, and so on
❏ Internal HP OpenView Traps
Example: traps originating from netmon
