    Hi Team,

    Can any one please explain what is event admin model in the spectrum and for what purposes we have to use this event admin model in the spectrum?

    Regards,

    The EventAdmin model is used for the Southbound Gateway functionality. Reference https://docops.ca.com/ca-spectrum/10-3-2/en/integrating/southbound-gateway-toolkit

    Hi Joe,

    I have a third party application to send the snmp traps to the spectrum.

    I have created the eventadmin model with the application running host IP address in the spectrum.

    If the application send the snmp trap to the spectrum , will the eventadmin model automatically create the event for that trap.If the event is created for that trap then i will enable the alarm of that event using the event configuration editor.

    Is this is the process or any other steps that i needs to perform to enable the alarms in the spectrum for the third party application snmp traps.

    Regards,
    Santhosh

    If the traps are already mapped in AlertMap file under $SPECROOT/custom/Events/, traps should be generated as Events. If not follow the procedure described under Southbound gateway integration (link below).

    https://docops.ca.com/ca-spectrum/10-2-3/en/integrating/southbound-gateway-toolkit/using-a-southbound-gateway-integration

    Make sure to turn off trap processing at device model to avoid alarms on device model as well as event model.

    Once AlertMap is updated to map the trap and event, you need to define the behavior of the events to generate/clear the alarm using event conditions.

    The below link gives you the use case.

    Southbound Gateway Case Study
    This chapter walks you through an integration with a typical third-party management software that can send SNMP traps to CA Spectrum. The traps sent by this software have been directed to the SpectroSERVER and are received by Southbound Gateway. For the sake of simplicity, this chapter assumes that this application only sends one type of trap to the Southbound Gateway.

    Below gives you the Demo of Southbound Gateway.

    Creating a Southbound Gateway Demonstration
    This chapter helps you demonstrate the functionality of a Southbound Gateway integration without completing all the steps to create a fully functional integration. In this demonstration, you are sending a fictitious trap to the EventAdmin model using a trap-generating software.

    Hi Rajashekar,

    So if Traps sent by the third party software to the spectrum, corresponding created event admin model will not create the events automatically for those traps?

    Regards,
    Santhosh.

    Hi Santhosh,

    Events will be created automatically, but not alarms.

    If the traps are not mapped in AlertMap file, they will be created as Unknown Alaert events as shown in below Example. To make sure, the proper event to be generated in readable format, map the each trap to corresponding event.

    Santhosh, You can customize the event processing for the CA Spectrum predefined events, and create new custom events using MIB Tools or Event Configuration.
    The event and alarm configuration files that define your customizations are installed in $SPECROOT/custom/Events directory.
