Distributed Event Interception: Benefits Reduced Network Traffic and Management Server Workload through VPO-Specific Features for Local Processing More attributes to suppress messages (e.g. SNMP Trap Variables) Duplicate message suppression, local actions etc. Event Correlation Services Secure Communication between Agent and Management Server through DCE/RPC-Based Implementation Authentication, Encryption Flexible Management through VPO Flexible Manager Concepts Follow-the-Sun, Competence Centers, Backup Manager Message Source Configuration: SNMP Trap Interception
Distributed Event Interception: Configuration Supported Platforms: all Platforms, where NNM is supported Novell NetWare 4.1, 4.11, 5.0, 5.1 with NMA 2.1 installed Configuration Steps: Configure Event Interception Template in Message Source Templates window and in Add SNMP Trap window. Assign Event Interception Template to agents and distribute the templates. If NNM is not to be used on agent for event interception (i.e. SNMP traps intercepted directly by opctrapi), then add the following line to file opcinfo: SNMP_SESSION_MODE NO_TRAPD Restart the VPO agents Message Source Configuration: SNMP Trap Interception
How to Avoid Duplicate Messages Problem Situation: Node pepper SNMP Destinations: curry nutmeg Original method and showing how duplicates can occur SNMP Agent Node curry Node nutmeg opctrapi Using local interception and avoiding duplicates opctrapi OV pmd OV pmd opcmsga opcmsga VPO Management Server OV pmd opctrapi Solution with VPO: SNMP Agents must have only one trap destination configured An VPO event interceptor runs on all possible SNMP destinations Message Source Configuration: SNMP Trap Interception
