Hi Tony,
Can you check if there is TRAP defined for the same ? If so then Craigs suggestion of enabled DFM host as trap receiver should get you this event.
The only down side is that all event raised for traps are of the severity Information and they dont show up in the events report.
Pls use events-history report to view the same or change the trap severity to make it show up in the normal report.
The default event severity definition in OCUM for Traps is Information. But the same can be modified.
Default Severity Definition for all trap events is Information :
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
C:\>dfm eventtype list | findstr /i trap-received
alert-trap-received Information alert-trap-received
critical-trap-received Information critical-trap-received
emergency-trap-received Information emergency-trap-received
error-trap-received Information error-trap-received
information-trap-received Information information-trap-received
notification-trap-received Information notification-trap-received
warning-trap-received Information warning-trap-received
C:\>
Modify them as follows:
++++++++++++++++++++
C:\>dfm eventtype modify -v Warning alert-trap-received
Modified event "alert-trap-received".
C:\>dfm eventtype modify -v Critical critical-trap-received
Modified event "critical-trap-received".
C:\>dfm eventtype modify -v Emergency emergency-trap-received
Modified event "emergency-trap-received".
C:\>dfm eventtype modify -v Error error-trap-received
Modified event "error-trap-received".
C:\>dfm eventtype modify -v Warning warning-trap-received
Modified event "warning-trap-received".
C:\>
Now you will receive the trap with appropriate severity:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
C:\>dfm eventtype list | findstr /i trap-received
alert-trap-received Warning alert-trap-received
critical-trap-received Critical critical-trap-received
emergency-trap-received Emergency emergency-trap-received
error-trap-received Error error-trap-received
information-trap-received Information information-trap-received
notification-trap-received Information notification-trap-received
warning-trap-received Warning warning-trap-received
The drawback or side effect:
======================
When a trap other than information severity is generated the object status of the filer changes from green to orange, yellow or red.
And even when the condition is rectified the object status doesn’t return back to green as there is no neutralization event.
Now to overcome and make the object status green resolve the event by clicking on the resolve now.
