Dollar Universe Alert Rules for change of Monitoring Tool

  • 1.  Dollar Universe Alert Rules for change of Monitoring Tool

    Posted Jun 17, 2021 10:16 AM
    Hi,

    We are going to be moving from using HP OMi Monitoring tool to using SNMP traps with Logic Monitor tool, for our Alert Rules in Dollar Universe

    We are running UVMS 6.10.51

    Has anyone had any experience of doing this change, we have never used the SNMP function before, always used the inbuilt HP OM function

    Is It as simple as changing Notification check box in the Alert Rule setup from HP OM to SNMP?

    Any hints or tips would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Hello Gordon,

    The online documentation has a section detailing how to enable SNMP monitoring here:

    https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/intelligent-automation/dollar-universe/6-10/SNMP_Monitoring_23/snmp_introduction.html

    You'll see here that there is a little more setup to do in the node settings. Simply changing the Alerting Rules from HPOM to to SNMP will not be enough, though it is part of the solution. If you already have Alerting Rules defined, I believe you should be able to reuse them by switching them from HPOM to SNMP, after you've set up the SNMP Manager address. You'll also see that you need to modify the Logging level (ex: 0,IOALM,IOSPVSNMP) so that the universe.log will log messages that are understood by your SNMP manager. 

    It should also be noted that SNMPv2 is supported as of today, but not SNMPv3 (yet). It will hopefully be added in a future version.
