Incoming Messages Format

Messages received from the ovtrapd process consist of SNMP Trap-PDUs as defined in RFC 1157 (SNMPv l).

OpenView-specific events are defined as enterprise-specific traps and have the following content:

enterprise

1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.17 for OpenView events

agent-addr

SNMP agent or proxy agent address

generic-trap 6

specific-trap

Number in the range 33554432 through 2147483647

time-stamp 0

variable-bindings

Event Correlation With NNM 6

You can configure the adapter to open a session with ovspmd so that ovspmd only forwards the correlated events you want to the adapter. This reduces the workload
