Through the Notify via area specify the protocol you want the monitor to
use to send events. The options are described in the following sections.
opcmsg (ITO) Option |
 |
This option sends messages to ITO applications via the opcmsg daemon. For this option to display, IT Operation Managed
Node Software 3.x or 4.x must be installed on the resource server
running HP-UX version 10.20. This option is not currently available
on systems running HP-UX version 11.0.
The ITO message severity options are:
Map from value (this is not available on all monitors)
A specified severity other than Normal is returned under the
following conditions:
When value is . . . If this notification option is set, a non-normal severity
occurs when the value changes from FALSE to TRUE.
For example if a disk is being monitored, you want notification
when the disk is down. The When value is condition is FALSE while the disk is up and running
correctly. The condition becomes TRUE, meaning action needs to be
taken, when the disk is down or not operating correctly.
When value changes If this notification option is set, a non-normal severity
occurs when the current value does not match the previous value
Certain monitors can map directly to OPC severity levels. This
is not available with all monitors. Select Map from value option from the list in the Severity area.
If opcmsg is selected, EMS sets the following fields:
ITO application group: EMS (HP)
object: to the full path of the resource being
monitored
See HP OpenView IT/Operations Administrators Task
Guide (Part Number B4249-90003) for more information.
Templates for configuring IT/O and Network Node Manager to
display monitored events can be found on the Hewlett-Packard web
page at http://www.software.hp.com. Click on High Availability, then Event Monitoring Service Developer's
Kit.
To set the opcmsg protocol for ITO:
Specify the notification type from
the list in the Notify area.
Select the opcmsg (ITO) option from the list in
the Notify area.
Select the severity from the list in the Severity area:
TCP and UDP Options |
|
This sends TCP or UDP encoded events to the target
host name and port indicated for that request. Thus, the message
can be directed to a user-written socket program.
To set the TCP or UDP conditions:
Select the TCP or UDP option, as appropriate, from the list in the Notify via area.
Specify the target host name and the port in their
respective fields.
SNMP Traps Option |
|
This sends messages to applications, such as Network Node
Manager that use SNMP traps. See HP OpenView Using Network
Node Manager (P/N J1169-90002) for more information
on configuring SNMP traps. Table 3-1 “SNMP Traps” lists traps used by EMS:
Table 3-1 SNMP Traps
Trap Name | Trap Value | Description |

OID | "1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.1.7" | |

EMS_MINOR_

EMS_MAJOR_
SEV_OID | "1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.1.7.0.8" | Problem Event w/Major Severity |
EMS_CRITICAL_SEV_OID | "1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.1.7.0.9" | Problem Event w/
Critical Severity |
The Severity area options for SNMP traps are:
Map from value (this is not available with all monitors)
A specified severity other than Normal is returned under the
following conditions:
When value is . . . If this notification option is set, a non-normal severity
occurs when the value changes from FALSE to TRUE.
For example if a disk is being monitored, you want notification
when the disk is down. The When value is condition is FALSE while the disk is up and running correctly. The
condition becomes TRUE, meaning action needs to be taken, when the disk
is down or not operating correctly.
When value changes If this notification option is set, a non-normal severity
occurs when the current value does not match the previous value
Certain SNMP monitoring requests can map directly to severity
levels. Select the Map from value option from the list in the Severity area.
To set the SNMP trap:
Specify the notification type from
the list in the Notify area.
Select the SNMP trap option from the list in the Notify via area.
Select the severity from the list in the Severity area:
Email Option |
|
This sends event notification to the email address
indicated for that request.
To set for an email notification:
Select the email option from the list in the Notify via area.
Specify the full email address in the email address field.
Console Option |
|
This sends event notification to the system console.
To set for a console notification:
Select the console option from the list in the Notify via area.
Syslog Option |
|
This sends event notification to the system log.
An abnormal event message (error) is returned under the following conditions:
When value is . . . If this notification option is set, a non-normal severity
occurs when the value changes from FALSE to TRUE.
For example if a disk is being monitored, you want notification
when the disk is down. The When value is condition is FALSE while the disk is up and running correctly. The
condition becomes TRUE, meaning action needs to be taken, when the disk
is down or not operating correctly.
When value changes If this notification option is set, a non-normal severity
occurs when the current value does not match the previous value
For an abnormal event, a system logging level of error will be associated with the logged message.
To set for a system log notification:
Select the syslog option from the list in the Notify via area.
Textlog Option |
|
This sends event notification to a file you specify.
To set for a textlog notification:
Select the Textlog option from the list in the Notify via area.
Specify the filename and path in the File Path field.
The default path is /var/opt/resmon/log/event.log.
