HP Systems Insight Manager 5.2 Update 2 Technical Reference Guide

Modifying traps
To modify a specific trap, such as cpqIDELogicalDriveStatusChange , to have trap information included in
e-mail messages, you can edit the MIB cfg. You can add keywords to the MSG_FORMATTER field, and
then you must reregister the MIB, after making changes, by using the mxmib -a cpqide.cfg command.
For example:
#MSG_FORMATTER "$V3V#Ide Controller Model: # $V4V#Controller Slot Number: #
$V5V#Controller Index: # $V6V#Ide Logical Drive Index: # $V7V#Logical Drive
Status: # $tid#Trap ID: # $tname#Trap Name: # $trcvd#Trap Received Time: #
You can also edit the globalsettings.props file and modify the EmailKeywords property. “Configuring
e-mail settings”, in the "EmailSettings" section for additional information on changing the EmailKeywords
property.
For SNMP traps, the MIB cfg file is the default location that HP SIM looks for keywords. If keywords are
not defined here, then HP SIM looks at the EmailKeywords property in the globalsettings.props file.

Configuring status change events
Perform the following procedure to configure the sending of status change events for systems when hardware
status changes to and from a Critical (unreachable) state only.
To configure status change event settings:
1. Select Options→Events→Status Change Event Settings. The Status Change Event Settings
page appears.
2. Two options are available on this page. Select one or both of the options.
• Enable creation of system status change events. This option causes a system unreachable
event to be sent whenever a system cannot be reached by a ping through the Hardware Status
Polling task. Enabling this option causes a system reachable event to be created whenever the
system is reachable again.
• Automatically clear unreachable system status change events when system is reachable.
If this option is enabled, when a system that was previously unreachable starts to respond, the
previous unreachable event is marked with a cleared state.
3. Click OK to apply changes.
