Integrating Data With BSM Connector > SNMP Interceptor Policies (Events only)

SNMP Interceptor Policies (Events only)

SNMP trap policies configure HP Operations Agent to watch for SNMP traps received by BSM Connector from third-party systems. The third-party system must be configured to send traps to the BSM Connector server. The SNMP trap policy reads SNMP traps, and responds when a character pattern that you choose is found in an SNMP trap.

SNMP trap policies collect data from any SNMP trap (version 1 and 2) received by BSM Connector, and send events to OMi containing preferred values from the original SNMP trap.

Before setting up an SNMP trap policy, you should be clear about the purpose and usage of the data in OMi.

Event data that is forwarded to OMi is controlled by policy rules. Policy rules consist of a condition and of settings for the event generated by the policy. The condition uses regular expressions to match the source data. The settings enable you to configure the event that BSM Connector sends to OMi.

Note: You can use this policy type to forward information from HP Network Node Manager i (NNMi) to OMi. When you install BSM Connector on an NNMi management server, you must enable the HP Operations Agent integration with NNMi so that the HP Operations Agent can receive SNMP traps from the NNMi northbound interface. To enable the NNMi integration, follow the procedures in the NNMi Deployment Reference instead of the one below.
