Resolving Localhost IP Addresses
Configuring OVO
About Preconfigured Elements
By default, intercepted traps whose source address is the localhost
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 localhost 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
❏ On DCE-based managed nodes
Add the string OPC_RESOLVE_TRAP_LOCALHOST TRUE to the opcinfo
file.
For the location of the opcinfo file on all platforms, see Table 11-1 on
page 404.
Intercepting Distributed Events
OVO Distributed Event Interception enables you to intercept SNMP
traps on systems other than the OVO 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.
