Re: [nv-l] SNMPTraps to TEC

[ray.smith@clorox.com]

One way to do it is on the NV side.  The other way is to do it on the TEC side.

NV requires sending himself a second trap and doing a case statement to map 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 to whatever severity you want.  TEC requires slotting one of those numbers and then adjusting the severity over there in a rule.

I just learned how to do this myself for the firs time.

I chose to do something like this on the NV side of in a parsing script that generated the second trap.

case $4 in
        "P1" )        TECSeverity=FATAL;;
        "P2" )        TECSeverity=CRITICAL;;
        "P3" )        TECSeverity=WARNING;;
        "P4" )        TECSeverity=HARMLESS;;
esac

TECSeverity is the new argument in the trap and is mapped to $Vsomenumber

and then you assign $Vsomenumber  to the severity slot on TEC

I have what is probably a stupid question here, and take it easy on me here since I am newbie. I have an application that is forwarding traps to netview which I want to forward events to TEC. The problem that I have is the application's severity (which is passed via varbind4) is #1 a number [1-5] and #2 their severity doesn't not match a TEC Severity. How does one take these severities and re-map them to proper TEC Severities? I want to map 5 to CRITICAL, 4 to MINOR, 3 & 2s to WARNING and 1 to HARMLESS. Any insight would be great.

Thanks,
