Access Points for System and Management Applications

Each event is marked with an Enterprise Event ID (EID) used to designate the type of entity that has sent the event. The EID for the events, sent by the OpenView entity, is “.1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.17.1”.

Generic Event ID

Each event is also marked with a Generic Event ID (GID). For standard SNMP traps, the GID tells ovtrapd which standard SNMP trap was generated. For other types of events, the GID is 6, meaning that the sending entity has used a Specific Event ID to further qualify the event. Data Protector uses GID 6 only.

Specific Event ID

Events with GID=6 are also marked with a Specific Event ID (SID). The use of SIDs allows enterprises to define their own custom set of event definitions. (59047936, used by Data Protector, is the number for the Application Alert traps which is a subtype of the existing SNMP-Traps for the HP OpenView traps.)
