Monitoring Processed Traps

Once at least one trap processor element has been configured to process traps from a valid source that is actively generating events, you can monitor the processed events and heartbeats on the Processed Traps page of the Smart Trap Processor tool.

Smart Trap Processor Homepage

  • At the top, you can find the total number of trap processors available for monitoring.

  • Each available trap processor element is displayed in a grid view. You can select an element in the grid to filter the data below the grid so that only information for that processor element is shown.

  • Each element block in the grid shows the element name, state, current alarm status, trap IP sources, maximum age of events, Keep Alive setting, protocol name, and protocol version.

  • When an element is selected, the following information is shown above the Processed Traps table:

    • The number of active events in the Processed Traps table.

    • The number of cleared events in the Processed Traps table.

    • The number of events matching various alarm severities: Critical, Major, Minor, Warning.

  • When an element is selected, you will find the following information in the Processed Traps table:

    • Alarm Description: Values corresponding to the Alarm Set and Alarm Clear parameters in the Rules table.

    • Event State: This can be Active or Cleared, depending on whether the last processed trap for the row matched the Set or Clear OID defined in the Rules table.

    • Timestamp: The time when the last event was processed for a row.

    • Trap Count: The total number of traps that have been processed for a row.

    • Source IP: The IP address from which the trap events originated.

    • Source IP Name: The name specified for the IP source in the Source IP Name table.

    • Source Name: The name specified for the event source in the Source Name table.

    • Unique Entry: The unique entry value specified in the Rules table.

    Note

    Active events are shown at the top of the table. Aside from this, the events are sorted by descending timestamp.

  • When an element is selected, you will find the following information in the Heartbeat Traps table:

    • Unique Entry: The unique entry value specified in the Rules table.

    • Source IP: The IP address from which the trap events originated.

    • Source IP Name: The name specified for the IP source in the Source IP Name table.

    • Heartbeat Status: Can be FAIL or OK, depending on whether the time since the last heartbeat exceeds the expected interval set in the Rules table.

    • Time Since Last Heartbeat: The time since the last heartbeat, calculated by comparing the current time with the timestamp for the last processed heartbeat trap for a row.

    • Heartbeat Interval: The expected interval of heartbeats from a source as defined in the Rules table.

    • Trap Count: The total number of traps that have been processed for a row.
