Hi Calvin, list, I guess you have attribute alert_forwarding_enabled (0x12ad4) set to true on the designated trap director VNM? When we troubleshhot trap director issues, we look for events on the relevant device models and on both VNMs involved. You might also want to check your EventDisp configuration for your particular testtrap event, as logging might be switched off. If you just modeled the target device to your DSS environment, you should wait for 4 hours and try again (there is some kind of learning time).
If this doesn't help, you might try some debugging. However, the output most likely is to be interpreted by CA support. debug Trap to Device Assignment, dump Alert table (one_time only action) $SPECROOT/vnmsh /update action=0x10247 mh=<VNM modelhandle> debug Trap to Device Assignment, dump PIM table (one_time only action) $SPECROOT/vnmsh/update action=0x10248 mh=<VNM modelhandle> enable the AlertManager debugging output $SPECROOT/vnmsh/update action=0x10245 mh=<MH of VNM> index=0,attr=1,type=0x13,val=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd disable the AlertManager debugging output $SPECROOT/vnmsh/update action=0x10246 mh=<MH of VNM> index=0,attr=1,type=0x13,val=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd Mit freundlichen Gruessen - Yours sincerely Raphael Franck Consultant Managed Services Factory Computacenter AG & Co oHG Services & Solutions Europaring 34-40, 50170 Kerpen, Germany E-Mail: [email protected] WWW: www.computacenter.de Von: Calvin Lane [mailto:[email protected]] Gesendet: Montag, 7. November 2011 14:32 An: spectrum Betreff: [spectrum] Understanding TrapDirector I have 4 SS's in a fault tolerant setup. One of them is designated as the trap director. I'd like to verify that traps are being received, so I'm using the following queries: mysql> select count(*) from event where vardata_string like '%Alert Has Posted%'; +----------+ | count(*) | +----------+ | 20158 | +----------+ 1 row in set (1.42 sec) mysql> mysql> select from_unixtime((select max(utime) from event where vardata_string LIKE '%Alert Has Posted%')); +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | from_unixtime((select max(utime) from event where vardata_string LIKE '%Alert Has Posted%')) | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | 2011-10-29 07:25:01 | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (1.44 sec) mysql> According to the query above, it appears my last trap entered the event table on 10/29/11. All three of my SS's are showing the same exact time that the last trap came in. On the box designated as the trap director, it is showing no records in the event table that have 'Alert Has Posted' in the vardata_string. Other than searching the vardata_string for 'Alert Has Posted', what else should I be looking for in the ddmdb that will confirm whether traps are coming in to the db. I plan on snooping the interfaces for port 162 traffic, but I'd like to know if there is anything I can look at or if there is something I'm missing. Keep in mind, the SS's seem to be functioning normally. Thanks.
