James,
Thanks very much for quick
reply. You suspicion is correct that our SNMP trap severity do not match with
the severity of TEC. How can I remap in the TEC server ?
Thanks,
Narendra

Whether you can do this in the CDS or not
depends on the complexity of what you are trying to do. The CDS basically just
selects varbinds from the trap and substitutes them into slot mappings. It does
not really allow for any conditional logic.
So for example, if the severities in the trap variable match TEC severities,
then something like this might work. Say the varbind which contains the
severity is number 6. So you'd select it, and then map it. Let's say it's your
third selection. Then your CDS might look like this. But the numbers below are
arbitrary; you need to match the map variable with the attribute number you
selected. Consult the TEC adapters guide for information on how to code CDS
entries.
CLASS <myclass>
SELECT
1.
2.
3: ATTR(=,"VB_6") ;
4.
MAP
...
severity = $V3 ;
...
END
But my suspicion is that this is not enough, because it is unlikely that the
severities passed in the trap do not themselves map to the severities used in
TEC. In that case you'd have to add TEC rules in the TEC server to modify the
incoming events even further. And In fact, it might be simpler not to mess with
the severities in the tecad CDS at all, and just do the re-mappings in the TEC
server itself using TEC rules.

[NV-L] Override Severity in Tivoli Enterprise
Console

Hi,
We have our network application that forwards the SNMP alarms to TEC. One of
the varbind contains the severity(1 or 2 or 3 etc). How we can map that
severity to TEC severities in CDS files. Please advice.
Thanks,
Narendra Gupta_______________________________________________
