    exception is caused by some unprintable characters where string fetching function (in probe) not well handling for.

    ask ca support for possible actions. i think the best probe behavior is to trim that off before processing.

    you may just want to ask ca support the same feature for your probe.

    nsdgtw AC Configuration - CA Unified Infrastructure Management Probes - CA Technologies Documentation 

     

    Set or modify the following fields in the General Configuration section:

    • (nsdgtw v1.23 only) Discard Invalid Characters: allows you to remove invalid characters in CA UIM alarms before generating the CA NSD incident.
      Default: Not selected

    Although this is off the question,I would like to add partial of the resolution to my problem.

    Since the alarm was generated from snmptd probe alarm I use the snmptd troubleshooting which is able to resolve this issue.

     

    Non-alphanumeric characters are not converted in alarm messages

    Symptom:

    The probe converts only alphanumeric characters. Special characters with ASCII value between 32 and 255 (both included) such as ESC (for Escape) are not available.

    Solution:

    Do the following:

    1. Go to the Raw Configure section of the snmptd probe.
    2. Set the value of the VariableToHex option as yes.
      Default: no
    3. Restart the probe.

    The printable characters now include all ASCII printable characters between 32 and 255 (both included).
