Sending Traps from W4N to SAM

Hi Surya,

Please find guide attached on the EMC M&R (Watch4net) Alerting engine. The alerting engine can be used to generate trap messages and send to the Smarts OI domain via the trap adapter and then to the SAM console.

Please find documentation attached on the SAM Adapter user guide also (on how to process incoming traps).

Additionally, the latest version of EMC M&R has a Send to SAM alert action which you can use to forward some events from EMC M&R directly to SAM.

Please see relevant KB article here:

Thanks Paul

Hi Paul,

Below configuration i made in config files but no luck,Please advise me am going in correct way or not?

1)trapd.conf file

PORT: 162

ENABLE_FWD: TRUE

FORWARD: * .* * * x.x.x.x:162

FORWARD: * .* * * x.x.x.x:9000

x.x.x.x = IP address of W4N server

2)trap_mgr

For interface high utilization - 1.3.6.1.2.1.*

BEGIN_TRAP .1.3.6.1.2.1.* 6 1

        ClassName:        Interface

        InstanceName:     $tew01p$

        EventName:        Wan Link Utilization

        Severity:         3

        EventText:        InterfaceUtilization is high on router

        Category:         Performance

        State:            NOTIFY

END_TRAP

BEGIN_TRAP .1.3.6.1.2.1.* 6 1

        ClassName:        Interface

        InstanceName:     $tew01p$

        EventName:        Wan Link Utilization

        Category:         Performance

        State:            Clear

END_TRAP

W4N configuration is good i guess attaching the screenshot , Confused only with smarts configuration.http://

Hi Surya,

A couple of issues:

1.) This trapd.conf file is part of the Smarts trap processing (mainly used by the Trap Exploder (TE)) and from the above you have configured it to listen to port 162 for incoming traps and then forward all incoming traps on this port to the Watch4net (EMC M&R) server on ports 9000 and 162. Is this what you are trying to achieve? What are the processes listening on these ports (9000 and 162) on the Watch4net server?

2.) The trap_mgr.conf file is also used by Smarts trap processing (mainly by the Trap Adapter (TA)) to define "interesting" traps and what type of notification should be generated in OI and SAM when an interesting trap is received.

From the configuration lines you have provided, I can see that you have defined an identical trap for both Notify and Clear:

Notify:

BEGIN_TRAP .1.3.6.1.2.1.* 6 1

        ClassName:        Interface

        InstanceName:     $tew01p$

        EventName:        Wan Link Utilization

        Severity:         3

        EventText:        InterfaceUtilization is high on router

        Category:         Performance

        State:            NOTIFY

END_TRAP

Clear:

BEGIN_TRAP .1.3.6.1.2.1.* 6 1

        ClassName:        Interface

        InstanceName:     $tew01p$

        EventName:        Wan Link Utilization

        Category:         Performance

        State:            Clear

END_TRAP

With this configuration, both Notify and Clear events will be generated from the same trap.

There needs to be some difference in the BEGIN_TRAP definition:

BEGIN_TRAP nterprise_OID>

Where:

  The trap's enterprise OID number.  Valid values are oid number and 'any' (or '*'). 'any' or '*'  matches any oid number.

The trap number (0-6).  Valid values are numbers 0-6 and 'any' (or '*'). 'any' or '*' matches any number.

If trap number is 6 (enterprise specific), this gives enterprise trap number.  Valid values are any number and 'any' (or '*').

To find out which nterprise_OID> you should be using in your trap definition, you need to check the exact format of the trap which you are attempting to match.

Also, the InstanceName value is:  $tew01p$, is this variable correct?

Finally, from the screen capture provided, it is not very clear from where you are configuring these settings.

Can you please clarify what you are attempting to do in this screen capture?

Thanks,

Kind Regards,

You can also use "Send to SAM" Alerting action instead of Trap.

Tried already it is working thanks for ur reply.
