SNMP Trap Monitoring
Prior to this 1.2 release, OpenManage Management Pack for vRealize Operations Manager used to collect the metrics of the
PowerEdge server and the related Chassis at regular intervals (by default 5 minutes) from OMIVV. OMIVV polls the health
metrics and extended metrics of the PowerEdge servers and it’s associated Chassis every 1 hour and every 2 hours respectively.
Due to this time gap, any health faults in the PowerEdge server and it’s Chassis reflects only after a poll is getting completed, it
may take more than 2 hours.
In order to reduce the time to receive alert notification in vROPS, OpenManage Management Pack for vRealize Operations
Manager version 1.2 has started synchronous monitoring for the PowerEdge servers and chassis using SNMP alerts. To ensure
this functionality, you must enable the SNMP Traps in iDRAC or CMC for the required alerts. You can also enable or disable this
feature by enabling or disabling SNMP Monitoring at OMIVV Admin portal.
Due to this newly introduced functionality a synchronous alert is raised in vROPS when an SNMP trap based event is forwarded
by OMIVV. This alert is always associated with the corresponding server/chassis from which the trap is generated. OMIVV also
triggers a health metric poll on the corresponding server/chassis so that the updated metrics are available to vROPS on the
next collect cycle. These updated metrics leads to the generation of an internal alert for the corresponding component.
NOTE: It is recommended to cancel the alerts when you addressed the issues corresponding to any specific alert. In case,
the alert is not cleared, and if the same event occurs again, you may see an older time stamp associated to that alert.
NOTE: Identify the external alert using Dell Alert with message ID. The alert format is: Dell EMC <Server/Chassis>
<Critical/Warning/Information>- [Message ID].
