Event Management 456
1 Not all events that show up in the webtool appears in Event Manager.
2 Not all events that show up in EFCM will appear in Event Manager.
3 Need to configure the switch or proxy to send traps to the management server.
4 Also applies to Sun StorEdge switches.
5 Also applies to EMC Connectrix switches.
6 To receive events from NetApp filers, you must add the management server address as an SNMP
trap host on the NetApp filer.
Keep in mind the following:
• By default the management server displays events from all of the elements, except those from
itself. If you want to view events from the management server
• Select the All or option from the Show
Element Type drop-down menu. See ” Selecting an Element Type for Events ” on page 466
for more information about the menu options.
• Click the Customize button next to the Show Element Type drop-down menu in Event
Manager. Select the management server and then click OK.
When you are asked if you want to apply your changes, click Yes. Then, click the Apply
Filters
button.
• The management server provides separate event notification for every event that is reported
from the devices it is monitoring. Excessive notification could delay provisioning, as the
providers are busy notifying the management server of the events. If you do not want the
management server to be notified of every event, modify the event threshold of the devices to
filter out some of the events. Refer to the documentation accompanying the device for more
information about setting the threshold.
• To receive events from Sun StorEdge or QLogic switches, verify the SNMP trap community
string is set to public in SANbox Manager or through telnet. Also, make sure the SNMP traps
are configured to be sent to the management server.
• The management server does not receive SNMP v1 traps from Sun StorEdge switches that have
the SNMPv1 agent.
• If you want the management server to be able to receive events from a NetApp Filer, you must
add the IP address of the management server CIMOM to the NetApp configuration. The
management server CIMOM runs on the same computer running the management server by
default.
• Event Manager displays events from all elements regardless of the user’s organization.
• Event Manager displays events it receives from CNT InVsn Enterprise Manager. As of version
9.5 of CNT InVsn Enterprise Manager, InVsn Enterprise Manager does not provide events to
the management server. As future versions of CNT InVsn Enterprise Manager provide event
support, the management server will be able to provide information about those events.
