Orion NPM SNMP traps alerts

Siskoboy

Hi, new to this forum. Can somebody tell me what condition(s) I should add to my Trap Rule(s) so I can get alerted and email on any Sev. 0 - 3 on my Cisco devices?

Hi,

Could you post examples of SNMP Traps you received in Orion from these Cisco devices?

SNMP Traps do not have any severity defined like you would have in Syslog messages. However, it could be defined in the Trap details field.

Thanks in advance for sharing one or more examples.

Yann,

Thanks for replying back. So currently I'm sending all my syslog (0-6) as SNMP traps with this command:

snmp-server enable traps syslog

and as a result I get traps like these:

16/2009 8:27:54 AM

172.21.255.16

ISI-101-11-SW01.corp.intusurg.com

1234567

CISCO-SYSLOG-MIB:clogMessageGenerated

snmpTrapEnterprise = CISCO-SYSLOG-MIB:ciscoSyslogMIBNotificationPrefix
experimental.1057.1 = 172.21.255.16
clogHistTimestamp.33614 = 340488883
clogHistMsgText.33614 = duplex mismatch discovered on FastEthernet2/48 (not full duplex), with SEP001FCAE8B9B1 Port 1 (full duplex).
clogHistMsgName.33614 = DUPLEX_MISMATCH
clogHistSeverity.33614 = 5
clogHistFacility.33614 = CDP
snmpTrapOID = CISCO-SYSLOG-MIB:clogMessageGenerated
sysUpTime = 39 days 9 hours 48 minutes 8.84 seconds

So how do I make a custom alert that notify me by email if I a Severity level less that or equal to 3: "clogHistSeverity.33614 = 5"

as well as if a fan or power supply dies?

Yann

"clogHistSeverity.33614 = 5"

Is the 33614 number a variable or does it remain the same all the time?

Siskoboy

33614 is a variable

Why not just use Orion's syslog server? It's definitely a whole lot easier to setup for what you're trying to do.

Siskoboy

How do I do that? Please give me an example how to make an alert to get email or pages on Sev 0 - 3 issues from my switches.

aLTeReGo

Well the 1st step is to configure the Cisco switches to send syslog by entering the "logging" command in config mode of your Cisco devices followed by the IP address of your Orion server. I.E.

switch(config)#logging 127.0.0.1

Siskoboy

I've done that already but I how to I create alerts to send me an email when the the message has a sev. 0 -3?

Yann

I agree with Alterego, using Syslog messages would be easier than converting them into Traps.

The following document explains how to create Syslog Rules:

Configuring Syslog Viewer Filters and Alerts

When you configure a rule, go to the Severity/Facility tab and select the Severity that the rule will cover.

Go to the Alert Actions tab then and configure a Send an Email/Page action.

HTH,

Yann

Siskoboy

Thanks Yann, I'll try that. However how do I get alerted to heat or fan issue that are usualy sent by SNMP traps?

Yann

For these specific Traps, you should stick with the Trap Viewer Rules/Alerts:

Configuring Trap Viewer Filters and Alerts

Feel free to post a fan,heat issue trap example if you need help.
