I just looked at this addtrap script from the Tivoli site..
It is a shame that this junk is posted there.
The addtrap script provided adds a single generic definition for all traps sent by DFM.
This means that all traps sent by DFM, both warning and cleared conditions will generate the same event log message.
Since the DFM agent only sends 2 traps, it is not a monumental task to do ever so slightly more work and do it right!

I recommend that you DO NOT use this Tivoli provided script from the web site.
Here is a modified version that will configure trapd with meaningful messages and appropriate color coded events.

'CLEARED: $4 received the event $5. $7' -D "A trap describing a DFM root CLEARED cause notification.\n The description
 in the trap indicates the nature\n of the problem that is NOW CLEARED."
else
echo "NetView is not installed. You can not format traps."
fi
###END TRAP FORMAT NV

I'm going for my morning coffee now :)

Fawad,

I'm only aware about one single trap definition for DFM traps.
You can download the script which adds it along with readme from here:

Anyone has any idea where to find Trap definitions for Cisco's Device Fault
Monitoring (DFM) tool ?? I am only able to locate four such definitions (in
the DFM-MIB file) and I know there are many more somewhere.
