Configuring ITO

Preconfigured Elements

Event Interception on Novell NetWare Managed
Nodes

There are two preconfigured templates for Novell NetWare:

❏ NetWare NMA 2.1 Threshold Traps

❏ NetWare NMA 2.1 Traps

NetWare NMA 2.1 threshold traps can be used to filter traps originating
from the NetWare NMA when one of the 25 NMA thresholds is exceeded.

NetWare NMA 2.1 traps template filters the 379 traps that can be
generated by the NMA module when an important event on the NetWare
server occurs.

Event Interception with ECS

opctrapd

connects by default to the correlated event flow of

pmd

. You

can change this behavior by adding an appropriate statement to the
opcinfo file on the managed node. Syntax:

SNMP_EVENT_FLOW [ALL|RAW|CORR]

opctrapd

connects to the default ECS stream of pmd. If required, you

can configure

opctrapd

to connect to a specific ECS stream of pmd by

specifying the ECS stream in the opcinfo file:

SNMP_STREAM_NAME

ITO Message Interception

By default, any message submitted via the opcmsg(1) command or via
the opcmsg(3) API is intercepted. For message attribute defaults,
logging options and so forth, see the template, opcmsg(1|3).

See also “EMS Integration” on page 332 for an example how opcmsg
intercepts messages from other applications.

MPE/iX-console Message Interception

ITO is able to intercept messages that are sent to the MPE/iX console.
Some of these messages already have a predefined message
classification, which ITO maps where possible to a message group and
severity level. Table 5-27 on page 246 shows how MPE/iX classifications
are mapped to ITO Message Groups.
