13.3.4 Configuration with HP NNM for monitoring a network

By using JP1/IM - Manager linking with HP NNM version 7.5 or earlier, you can monitor the network in the system.

From JP1/IM - View windows, you can launch the windows of HP NNM version 7.5 or earlier. You can also convert the SNMP traps managed by HP NNM version 7.5 or earlier into JP1 events and monitor the events in the Event Console window of JP1/IM - View.

Figure 13‒5: Example of linkage with HP NNM version 7.5 or earlier

The following products are required on each host:

Managers

• JP1/IM - Manager

  Runs the Central Console and Central Scope. The Central Scope is required to monitor the system by associating jobs and JP1 events. It is not required to monitor job execution simply by monitoring JP1 events.

• JP1/Base

Agents (network management manager host)

• HP NNM version 7.5 or earlier

• HTTP server

  Required to display the Web page of HP NNM version 7.5 or earlier.

• JP1/Base

(Network management agent hosts)

• JP1/Extensible SNMP Agent (as an example)

Viewer

• JP1/IM - View

• Web browser

  Required to display the Web page of HP NNM version 7.5 or earlier.

Event levels of SNMP traps after conversion to JP1 events

• When a SNMP trap is converted into a JP1 event, the trap severity level is converted into an event level, as listed in the table below.

  Table 13‒6: Event level when a SNMP trap is converted into a JP1 event

  Severity level of SNMP trap	Display (event level) after conversion into a JP1 event
  Normal	Information
  Warning	Warning
  Minor	Error
  Major	Critical
  Critical	Alert

  SNMP trap conversion and precautions are described in the JP1/Base User's Guide. See the chapter on setting the event converters for details about converting SNMP traps.

• When the SNMP traps issued by HP NNM version 7.5 or earlier are converted by JP1/Base into JP1 events and monitored, the IP address of the error source host might not be correctly received. This is because, when JP1/Base converts a SNMP trap into a JP1 event, the value set in the source IP address attribute of the JP1 event is the IP address of the host on which JP1/Base resides, not the IP address of the host that issued the SNMP trap. To acquire the name of the issuing host, specify the SNMP trap source extended attribute. To define the attribute value, specify the $EV"SNMP_SOURCE" variable.
