AlliedView NMS Administration Guide
Add Trap
Parser
Create a new trap parser with all fields editable. The Update button adds it to the Trap Parser list. If
all of the fields are the same as an existing Trap Parser, an error message appears. If the name you
choose already exists in a file (config directory) or the MIB (mibs directory), an error message
appears.
Modify Trap
Parser
Change an already existing trap parser.
Delete Trap
Parser
Delete the selected trap parser. If the parser exists in the config or mibs directory, it will be deleted
from the directory.
Update Update the modified trap parser. The change will not take effect until the Apply to Server button is
selected.
Apply to
Server
Make the changes permanent.
Load from
MIB
Loads the trap file from the mibs directory so the traps can translated to a trap parser. This is
explained in more detail below.
Load from
File
Loads the trap file from the conf directory. This is explained in more detail below.
Save to File Brings up the Save <type of information> to File form. Save the trap parsers as a file. The default
path is to the conf directory. This allows the configured trap parser to be used again and as a backup.
Note: When saving these files, the AlliedView NMS sets as the default directory the
<AlliedView NMS Home>/state
directory, so for example the file path:
../conf/trap.parsers
is being saved in the
conf directory by going up one level from the state directory (..)
and then down to the
conf directory. If the user enters in the form only a file name,
that file is being saved in the default
state directory.
Cancel Cancels the update.
Help Brings up this section of this document.
Close Closes the form. If no changes were applied to the server, they are lost. If changes have been made,
there is a prompt on whether to apply the changes.
