HP Systems Insight Manager - Manual (Page 169)

User Action: If the physical drive status is failed(3) or
predictiveFailure(4), replace the drive.
Event Time: 01/09/2003 15:46: PM
Event Notice ID, Event Description and Event Time are inserted by HP SIM into all event notifications
and that Computer (V1, sysName), Drive Status (V3, cpqDaPhyDrvStatus) and Serial Number (V9,
cpaDaPhySerialNum) are customized to this specific trap.
Using the preceding example and adding the $!
--#MSG_FORMATTER "$! $V1V#System Name: # $V3V#Drive Status: # $V9V#Serial
Number: #"
The e-mail or pager output would be:
System Name: CRONUS
Drive Status: FAILED
Serial Number: WS7000134715
Using the $Hdr keyword in conjunction with $! to further customize the display could be as follows:
--#MSG_FORMATTER "$! $Hdr#The # $V1V#system # $Hdr#had the following #
$V3V#Drive Status:# $Hdr#. The system Serial Number # $V9V#is #
$Hdr#.#"
The e-mail or pager output would be:
The system Cronus had the following Drive Status: failed. The system
Serial Number is WS7000134715
IMPORTANT: For the TYPE, CATEGORY, and MSG_FORMATTER keywords described above,
the value for these keywords must be encapsulated in quotes, such as xxx for the mxmib to
successfully register the MIB in question. Other keywords such as SEVERITY and ENABLE do not
require quoted values.
SNMP Trap Settings page
The SNMP Trap Settings page has the capability to modify the attributes of any trap that has
been registered with the HP SIM database. The attributes that are available for modification include
the short and long descriptions, severity, category, and the trap enable/disable flag. Use the
interface on this page to first select the registered MIB containing the trap in which you are
interested, and then select the specific trap you wish to modify.
Fields can be modified as follows:
• The Description field is the long description stating the nature of the trap. The Description
field is used on the Event detail page and can be included in paging and e-mail notifications.
This field corresponds to the DESCRIPTION keyword in the CFG files.
• The Event Type field is the short description and is used as the display string when viewing
a list of events. The event type can also be used as part of a paging or e-mail notification.
Event type fields have been custom-created for all of the HP ProLiant hardware events. However,
for many other MIBs they have not been customized. Tailoring this field to present a clear
message is crucial for presenting meaningful event data in HP SIM. This field corresponds to
the #TYPE keyword in the CFG files.
• The Severity field can be set to CRITICAL, MAJOR, MINOR, or INFORMATIONAL. The default
is INFORMATIONAL when no other severity has been set by the base MIB. Many vendors
have different severities specified in their MIBs such as Normal, Warning, Degraded, Broken,
etc. These severities need to be changed in the base MIB or CFG to one that matches HP SIM.
For example, Degraded can be mapped to Minor or Major, depending on the degradation.
Editing the MIB or CFG and doing a search/replace on the severities is the easiest way to
tweak the MIB. This field corresponds to the #SEVERITY keyword in the CFG files.
