Each event is marked with an Enterprise Event ID (EID) used to
designate the type of entity that has sent the event. The EID for the
events, sent by the OpenView entity, is “.1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.17.1”.

Generic Event ID

Each event is also marked with a Generic Event ID (GID). For
standard SNMP traps, the GID tells

ovtrapd

which standard SNMP

trap was generated. For other types of events, the GID is 6, meaning
that the sending entity has used a Specific Event ID to further qualify
the event. Data Protector uses GID 6 only.

Specific Event ID

Events with GID=6 are also marked with a Specific Event ID (SID).
The use of SIDs allows enterprises to define their own custom set of
event definitions. (59047936, used by Data Protector, is the number
for the Application Alert traps which is a subtype of the existing
SNMP-Traps for the HP OpenView traps.)
