Hi,

I have send the below trap with sample text as varbind based on the varbind values in AlertMap file I got these varbind text in the Oneclick console Events Tab but these varbind values or text is not displayed in the Alarms tab.I am working on it where these varbind values are attaching.Can you please provide the detailed procedure or screen shots how we can display these varbind values or sample text in alarms tab in one click console where these varbind values or text is stored in spectrum

snmptrap -v 2c -c public 172.19.251.116 '' .1.3.6.1.4.1.7393.3.2.3.0.1 1.3.6.1.4.1.7393.3.2.2.3.2.3.1.5 s 'SPECTRUM'

Please find the below screen shot of trap with varbind values for your reference

Hi,

you have to map the TrapOid in an AlertMap file to an EventCode, to map the trap varbinds to Spectrum Event varbinds, to map the EventCode in an EventDisp file to an alarm and to use the Spectrum varbinds.

Details you will find here:

AlertMap Files - CA Spectrum - 10.1 to 10.1.2 - CA Technologies Documentation 

In addition you may have to enable "trap processing" for your model of type "Pingable".

Olaf

Hi,

Thanks for the update,mapping of  TrapOid in an AlertMap file to an EventCode and trap varbinds is already done and also mapping of EventCode in an EventDisp file to an alarm is also done but these varbind values or sample text with the snmp trap is displaying only in one click events tab not displaying in alarms tab.Please provide the detailed procedure or screen shots how we can display these varbind values or sample text in alarms tab in one click console where these varbind values or text is stored in spectrum.

The Event states "Unknown alert received".

If your AlertMap configuration is proper, you may have missed to load the configuration in the SpectroServer and OneClick.

Jump to the VNM model Information Tab -> SpectroServer Control and push  the "Update Event Configuration".

After that you have to re-read the information for the OC Server via the admin page.

Basically you will need to pass the varbind into the dynamic alarm variable to be displayed as alarm title.

Please take a look at CA Spectrum guide:

Working with Events and Alarms - CA Spectrum - 10.2 to 10.2.2 - CA Technologies Documentation 

Creating Dynamic Alarm Title

The alarm title is taken from the PCause files ($SPECROOT/SG-Support/CsPCause).

In OneClick, whenever the dynamic alarm title attribute has any value, the dynamic string is displayed instead of the static alarm title from the probable cause file. If there is no value in the dynamic alarm title attribute, the static alarm title is displayed by default, .

You can use the dynamic alarm title variable to create a dynamic alarm title. The dynamic varbind id is 76620 (or 0x12b4c). Once you set the dynamic alarm title variable, you see more information about the alarm in the title. To use the functionality, you can create an event which has that varbind set to any value for e.g. by mapping a trap variable to that ID in an alert map file. You can also copy some other event variable through an event rule, and then map the event to an alarm using that ID as a discriminator.

Example: Create a Dynamic Alarm Title

You can either create 0x050e1106 through an alert map or through the condition rule. This example maps an alert to an event, copying over one alert variable (1.3.6.1.10.1.2) as a dynamic alarm title. The dynamic varbind id is 76620 (or 0x12b4c).

1.3.6.1.4.4.1.6.3 0x050e1106 1.3.6.1.4.1.10.1.1(1,0)\ 1.3.6.1.4.1.10.1.2(76620,0)

You can also use an event rule to copy over a varbind (here ID 7 from event 0xffff0000) to be used as dynamic title id in the new event (0x050e1106).

0xffff0000 E 50 R CA.EventCondition, “default”, “0x050e1106 7:76620”

For both cases, you can create a minor alarm which shows the dynamic title, discriminating on the dynamic value ID. This condition shows an individual alarm for each value.

0x050e1106 E 50 A 1,0x 050e1106, 76620

Example: Clear a Dynamic Alarm Title

This example shows how to clear a dynamic alarm title using the Dynamic ID value.

0x050e1107 E 50 C 0x050e1106, 76620

Also take a look at the following KB documents and CA Community posts for some examples:
