Forward SNMP traps tp HP OV NNM without Integration package

Hi All,

We have ECC 6.0 in our environment and we are planning to send the SNMP traps to HPOV NNM, but our event management team is hesitant about installing the integration package. So, we are looking for a possible scenario to achieve the trap forwarding without installing the integration package.
Can anybody help me with this?
Thanks a lot,
Sri

Yep, on installing the Integration Gateway in ControlCenter you specify the IP address of the third party framework (in this case the IP address of the NNM host). Thereafter, you simply use the 'Notify SNMP' button in the relevant alert definitions and these will then be forward to a framework if it is SNMP-capable when the alert is fired.

As Allen pointed out, the specific Integration Packages are for interpreting the traps and probably makes them nice and readable once they get to the framework side.

I'm not sure how the traps will look on the NNM side without it's specific integration package installed...

I'm not sure about ECC6, but in ECC52 you could easily edit alams to not only email alarms, but send snmp traps as well.

The same applies in CC 6.0/6.1. In terms of integration, any SNMP-capable management product can be used to receive ControlCenter alerts.

EMC recommends integration of HP OpenView Network Node Manager (NNM) via the official integration package - I personally have not come across any instance of a CC/NNM integration without using the Integration Gateway/configuration files that are bundled with the Integration Packages.

And for this integration gateway agent to send traps, do we need to install the Integration Package?

When you deploy the Integration Gateway you define the target of all traps. When you set up the management policy you simply drag in the SNMP box and it automatically uses the already defined target.

Thanks for the reply.

When I create a management policy and drag the SNMP box, I am not being allowed to enter the IP Address. Is it possible in 5.2 or is there some other procedure to send the traps.

Thanks for the reply.

I was wondering if we just installed the gateway agent without installing the Integration Package, will it send the ConnUnitEvent trap?
Thats all we need, since this trap reports the alerts.

I don't believe so. In our case we have it installed, but it really only helps the target environment interpret the traps. With or without it you are still going to be passing the traps out to whatever target IP address you configured.

Thanks Allen and Seamus,

That answers my question, I will try testing it on virtual server and make sure.

We have a similar situation. But, when I use "Notify SNMP", it is disabled and i can't enter the IP nor is it populated with the one that I specified during Integration gateway install.

How can we turn this on?

We have currently ECC 6.1.

thanks in advance,

Hi,

I have configured ECC 6.1 to send snmp traps to NNMi host and I am getting all the alerts.But my problem is I am getting all the active alerts and no notification when the alerts are closed.

Could any one help me on this?

Thanks

Hi Julia,

The IP address which you had specified during installation of gateway is sufficient. When you create managment policy and put notify SNMP in that policy, it will not show any IP address. It will automatically use the IP which you had sepcified earlier. So No worries. It will work just fine.

Thanks,

Hi Surabhi,

This is expected behaviour - ControlCenter will only populate alerts/traps on the framework via the Gateway Agent.  There will not be any notification sent to the framework if the alert is subsequently deleted in ControlCenter.
