5. Create an Automatic Event Handling task to execute the custom command any time a new event is
received.
The executable file hpsimnnm.exe processes the environment variables created during the application
launch. To create the event in NNM, these variables are formatted and the
snmpnotify.exe
command
is launched.
Using the hpsimnnm.exe program, only one SNMP variable is sent from HPSIM to NNM. This variable is
the complete trap message from SIM in one string.
When the hpsimnnm.exe program receives an event that meets the criteria specified in the automatic
event handling setup, it executes and sends an event to NNM using the
snmpnotify
command. Events
generated by the HP Systems Insight Manager server begin with "HPSIM" for easy identification.
Creating NNM events using HP SIM 5.1
HP SIM 5.1 can create events for NNM through an application launch. This option requires minimal
configuration on the NNM server. Currently, this option is supported only with HP SIM running on
Microsoft® Windows®.
To configure the NNM server for HP SIM 5.1 event creation:
1. Copy the hpsimtraps.nnm file from the /hpsim directory to the NNM server.
2. To load the trap configuration file, on the NNM server, run the command
xnmevents -load
hpsimtraps.nnm.
The hpsimtraps.nnm trap configuration file defines five events that are added to trapd.conf. Each severity
level in HP Systems Insight Manager defines one event. The following table lists the severity mapping used
in the trap definition file.
