28.8.2 NNMi Northbound interface integration content

The following table lists the parameters for configuring the content the NNMi Northbound interface sends to the Northbound application.

Table 28‒2: NNMi Northbound interface content configuration information

Field

Description

Incidents

The incident forwarding specification:

  • Management

    NNMi forwards only NNMi-generated management events to the Northbound application.

  • 3rd Party SNMP Trap

    NNMi forwards only SNMP traps that NNMi receives from managed devices to the Northbound application.

  • Syslog

    NNMi forwards only ArcSight Syslog messages that NNMi receives from managed devices to the Northbound application using the NorthBound Integration module.

NNMi begins forwarding incidents as soon as you enable the Northbound destination. For details, see 28.3.1 Incident forwarding.

Lifecycle State Changes

The incident change notification specification:

  • Enhanced Closed

    NNMi sends an incident-closed trap to the Northbound application for each incident that changes to the CLOSED lifecycle state.

    This is the default configuration.

  • State Changed

    NNMi sends an incident lifecycle state changed trap to the Northbound application for each incident that changes to the IN PROGESS, COMPLETED, or CLOSED lifecycle state.

  • Both

    NNMi sends an incident-closed trap to the Northbound application for each incident that changes to the CLOSED lifecycle state. Additionally, the integration sends an incident lifecycle state changed trap to the Northbound application for each incident that changes to the IN PROGESS, COMPLETED, or CLOSED lifecycle state.

    Note: In this case, each time an incident changes to the CLOSED lifecycle state, the integration sends two notification traps, an incident-closed trap and an incident lifecycle state changed trap.

For details, see 28.3.2 Incident lifecycle state change notifications.

Correlations

The incident correlation notification specification:

  • None

    NNMi does not notify the Northbound application of incident correlations resulting from NNMi causal analysis.

    This is the default configuration.

  • Single

    NNMi sends a trap for each parent-child incident correlation relationship resulting from NNMi causal analysis.

  • Group

    NNMi sends one trap per correlation that lists all child incidents correlated to a parent incident.

    For details, see 28.3.3 Incident correlation notifications.

Deletions

The incident deletion specification. This selection configures whether to send a deletion trap to the Northbound application for the selections made in the Incidents field:

  • Don't Send

    NNMi does not notify the Northbound application when incidents are deleted in NNMi.

    This is the default configuration.

  • Send

    NNMi sends a deletion trap to the Northbound application for each incident that is deleted in NNMi.

For details, see 28.3.4 Incident deletion notifications.

NNMi Console Access

The connection protocol specification in the URL for browsing to the NNMi console from the Northbound application. The traps that NNMi sends to the Northbound application include the NNMi URL in the NmsUrl varbind (1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.17.19.2.2.2).

The configuration page defaults to the setting that matches the NNMi configuration.

If the NNMi console is configured to accept both HTTP and HTTPS connections, you can change the HTTP connection protocol specification in the NNMi URL. For example, if all users of the Northbound application are on an intranet, you can set NNMi console access from the Northbound application to be over HTTP.

To change the protocol for connecting to the NNMi console from the Northbound application, select the HTTP option or the HTTPS option as appropriate.

Incident Filters

A list of object identifiers (OIDs) the integration uses to filter the events sent to the Northbound application. Each filter entry can be a valid numeric OID (such as .1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.4.1.3.6.1.4.1.9) or OID prefix (such as .1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.*).

Select one of the following options:

  • None

    NNMi sends all events to the Northbound application.

    This is the default configuration.

  • Include

    NNMi sends only the specific events that match the OIDs identified in the filter.

  • Exclude

    NNMi sends all events except for the specific events that match the OIDs identified in the filter.

Specify the incident filter:

  • To add a filter entry, enter the text in the lower text box, and then click Add.

  • To delete a filter entry, select that entry from the list in the upper box, and then click Remove.

For details, see 28.3.5 Event forwarding filter.
