I've been setting this up for first time also... the example and the southbound manauls are pretty vague...here is what I found as best as I can explain it.
have a look at this file and it might become more obvious how it works /SS-Tools/GSADEMO/MergeVendorFiles.cus this runs as part of the packaging deployment to cat any evd or eml files to the right places to make the eventdisp for eventadmin and eventmodel and alertmap... but when testing you can just edit the files... referring to the sbgw manual pages the files are: /SS/CsVendor/gen_app_gw/EventDisp on page 65 this is the "EventModel EventDisp file" this should have the real events you want generated with logic for the eventmodel. if you want eventmodels created (not just default) yhou have to make this file. /SS/CsVendor/gen_app_gw/EventAdmin/EventDisp this is the EventAdmin EventDisp File on page 64 this should have a single eventid only for any event that triggers sbgw. no logic or event rules. but the real crunch is: /SS/CsVendor/gen_app_gw/EventAdmin/AlertMap in manual page 64 this is the "EventAdmin AlertMap file" also called the "Event Data Template" on page 30 (it took me hours to figure this out!) "Correctly choosing the Event Data Template variable ID values is important because they enable essential functions of the Southbound Gateway integration. The values you choose determine how a target model for the incoming event is identified. You can control whether a new EventModel is created to handle an incoming event. You also have the option of specifying variable ID values which specify whether to use a network address or model name as the event target search criteria." if you want dynamic named eventmodels cerated on fly map varbinds from trap to fields 1-6. e.g map say a hostname from your trap to varbind 1 and leave 2-99 blank, then map any other varbinds to 100+ other fields from manual describe how mapping other varbinds make sbgw do different stuff. --- To unsubscribe from spectrum, send email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe spectrum [email protected]
