Need Info about the MIBs that can be used to integrate Solarwinds with Netcool

Have you looked through the MIB database? I'm sure there a many places you can find it, but I find it most easily from my Customer Portal, under Helpful Links. That might point you in the right direction. If you don't see the MIB or MIBS that you need, you can request to have MIB's added to the database and SolarWinds will accomodate. HTH!

This gives me the .cfg files. I need the files with .mob extention

">akansha77‌, is .mob an extension you see in your NetCool environment?  Trying to determine whether you have more of a NetCool question than a SolarWinds question.  In eight years of working with SolarWinds software, I've not heard of .mob files.  I've not used NetCool enough to know whether that's NetCool terminology.  Any chance you meant .mib file instead of .mob file?

Its pretty easy to create a custom rule for solarwinds traps.  Here's an example.  This is using the ForwardToSyslog.trap template found in c:\Program Files\Solarwinds\Orion.  This template can be modified to send the various tokens below. 

case ".1.3.6.1.4.1.11307":  ### Solarwinds Rules

        switch($specific-trap) {

                case "10": ### - Solarwinds Trap

                        $OID = $1

                        $Hostname = $2

                        $IPAddress = $3

                        $NodeID = $4

                        if (regmatch($5, "-\s([A-Za-z0-9\/ ]+)")) {

                                $InterfaceName = extract($5, "-\s([A-Za-z0-9\/ ]+)")

                        } else {

                                $InterfaceName = $5

                        }

                        #$InterfaceName = $5

                        $DeviceType = $6

                        $DeviceID = $7

                        $AlarmText = $8

                        $SummaryText = $9

                        $myNumberTen = $10

                        #if (regmatch($6, "APM") {

                        #       @Agent = "SOLARWINDS-APM-TRAPS-MIB"

                        #} else if (regmatch($6, "Node") {

                        #       @Agent = "SOLARWINDS-NPMNode-TRAPS-MIB"

                        #} else if (regmatch($6, "Interface") {

                        #       @Agent = "SOLARWINDS-Interface-TRAPS-MIB"

                        #}

                        @Agent = "SOLARWINDS-" + $DeviceType + "-MIB"

                        #@Agent = "SOLARWINDS-TRAPS-MIB"

                        @AlertGroup = "Solarwinds Performance Management"

Hi,

Did you manually edit the trap file? Or used Engineer toolset

The MIBs you are looking for can be found in

C:\Program Files (x86)\Solarwinds\Common

HI,

You have any clue on whether the severity can be sent as part of the trap?

In the AlertMessage, we send Severity=CRITICAL&Type=SET for alarms and Severity=CRITICAL&Type=CLEAR for clear messages.

Then in the rules files, you do an regular expression extraction to look for Severity=(.*)&.....etc. to set severity and type.

I have used trap editor and have manually editted the trap file.  If manual, make sure to remove all CR/LF.  should just be one line.

Hi,

Thanks for this suggestion. I dont have engineer tool set installed so cant edit the default trap template.

Also need to check if i do send in alert message then will Zenoss be able to read that and convert it to correct severity.

You can edit the trap template, you'll just need to bring it into a text editor or vi, put the CR/LFs in so it is more readable, make your changes, remove the CR/LF and save.

Use the custom alert tool in settings to get the variables that you will need.

I'm not familiar with Zenoss, (the original question was regarding netcool) but basically you are defining a trap and all the varbinds so you should be able to come up with a mib for that.
