HP SNMP agent and HP CIM provider events
HP Insight Control for vCenter registers with HP SNMP agents and HP CIM providers to receive traps from HP SNMP agents and indications from HP CIM providers as they occur. Events created based on these traps and indications fit into the defined vCenter Server categories.
Event type | Event severity | vCenter Server event category |
HP SNMP agents or HP CIM providers | Normal or Information | Info |
HP SNMP agents or HP CIM providers | Warning or Minor | Warning |
HP SNMP agents or HP CIM providers | Major or Critical | Error |
These events contain the following information:

Alarms
When an Insight Control for vCenter event is delivered to vCenter Server, the overall host status changes based on the corresponding event category or the host status. An alarm is triggered when the changes to the host status meet the criteria assigned by the administrator.
Event category | Overall host status |
Informational | Green |
Warning | Yellow |
Error | Red |

•Alarms associated with the HP server SNMP traps
These alarms can be triggered by any event generated from an SNMP trap. The alarm states are controlled by the event category.
•Alarms associated with the HP server WBEM indications
These alarms can be triggered by any event generated from a WBEM indication. The alarm states are controlled by the event category.
•Alarms associated with HP BladeSystem fan zones
These alarms are triggered by an HP BladeSystem subsystem event. The alarm states are controlled by the type (severity) of the event. The alarms are triggered on all HP ProLiant and BladeSystem servers in the affected fan zone.
•Alarms associated with HP BladeSystem power subsystem
