SNMP Trap Severity

The default severity of SNMP traps can be modified with the snmptrap-severity-overrides configuration file.

Note: SNMP trap severity modification requires the ServiceLogin user name and password. Contact the system DXi Administrator for the password.

1. Using a terminal emulation program that supports SSH (like PuTTY), connect to the DXi Node.
2. Enter ServiceLogin for the user name and then enter the service password.

3. Edit the snmptrap-severity-overrides file at /etc/snmp/snmptrap-severity-overrides.conf.

   Severity overrides must be configured in the following format:

   Severity | PERL RegExp

   Severity	Severity can be one of the following: Information, Warning, or Error.
   PERL RegExp	PERL regular expression to match SNMP trap body.

   SNMP Trap Severity Override Examples:

   Example - Ethernet/Fibre Channel Ports

   Warning | (Ethernet|HBA) .*link is down

    

   Example - Virtual Tape Library

   Warning | Virtual Drive .*(online|offline)

    

   Example - Replication

   Warning | Replication service is (paused|resumed) to target

   Warning | Synchronization .*Failed

   Warning | Validation of file/dir.* replication for target .*failed

4. To apply changes to the snmptrap-severity-overrides file, restart the SNMP trap service:

   /etc/init.d/ras_snmptrap restart

Note: Errors parsing the file are logged to /usr/adic/util/logs/sl_noti_snmptrap_monitor.log by default.
