HP SIM V5.1 User Guide (356920-009, January 2007)

• Event Filter Settings Event filtering is a way to filter SNMP traps you receive from discovered systems .
The default setting is to accept all registered SNMP traps from all discovered systems. You can specify
the severity of the traps you want to see and use the IP address ranges to create a subset of systems
whose traps you can receive or ignore. For example, you can use event filtering to ignore informational
traps. This feature is available to users with full configuration rights. See “Managing MIBs” for information
on compiling MIBs.
To access Event Filter Settings, select Options→Events→Event Filter Settings.
• SNMP Trap Settings SNMP trap settings is available to users with full configuration rights and is used
to view or edit trap details for a registered MIB.
SNMP traps enable you to tailor trap messages to your specific network needs. Trap messages can be
cryptic, poorly written, and incomprehensible. You can modify the MIB information in the database
representation. You can also modify a .cfg. file of the MIB. HP recommends that you never modify
an actual MIB. To access SNMP trap settings, select Options→Events→SNMP Trap Settings. See
“Editing a MIB” for more information on editing MIBs.
See “Configuring SNMP traps” for more information on SNMP trap settings.

events for systems when hardware status changes. To access, select Options→Events→Status Change
Event Settings.
See “Configuring status change events” for more information.
