How to Collect Event Data from SNMP Traps

This task describes how to collect event data from SNMP traps.

  1. Prerequisite: Make sure the following applies:

    1. Your BSM Connector is configured to work with OMi by using the bsmc-conf tool.

    2. The certificate request is approved on the OMi side.

    3. Your BSM Connector is set up as a connected server in OMi.

  2. In the BSM Connector user interface, click Create in the toolbar, then click Event > SNMP SNMP Interceptor. The SNMP Trap Policy editor opens. 

    Alternatively, double-click an existing SNMP trap policy to edit it.

  3. In the Properties page, define information that is related to the policy itself (for example, the name and description of the policy).

    For details, see Configuring SNMP Trap Policy Properties.

  4. Optional. In the Default Event Attributes page, configure the default settings for all events generated by the policy (for example, default event correlation settings).

    For details, see Configuring Event Defaults in SNMP Trap Policies.

  5. In the Rules page, define what the policy should do in response to a specific type of event.

    For details, see Configuring Rules in SNMP Trap Policies.

  6. In the Options page, configure several policy behaviors (for example, pattern matching options).

    For details, see Configuring Options in SNMP Trap Policies.

  7. Click Save and Close to save the policy and close the editor.

  8. Optional. If the list of policies does not refresh automatically in the BSM Connector user interface, click Refresh in the toolbar.

  9. Activate the SNMP trap policy to start the opctrapi process on the BSM Connector server.
