Configuring SNMP Alerts

Does anyone have any experience with configuring SNMP alerts on C-Series appliances? I'm interested in receiving alerts when there's a certain amount of emails in the workqueue. Is this possible?
We experienced an issue the other day where we received an exorbitant amount of email at one time from one specific sender and the workqueue was backed up. It would have been nice to receive alerts on this so we could more effectively eliminate the issue. If anyone has another suggestion to receiving notification through SNMP alerts on a high amount of messages in the workqueue please let me know. I'm open to other ideas. I just thought this might be the most effective way.
Thanks!
Mike

Thanks Viquar, maybe you can help me with the issue that I'm dealing with.
We have roughly 4000 internal SMTP servers that send e-mail to the internet via our IronPort cluster. These IPs are everything from USB temperature gauges to an Exchange org. with 20K mailboxes. Every once in a while something goes haywire and a lot of e-mail gets generated internally. Either a virus generating a lot of e-mail, an application getting stuck in a loop, or a user configuring an Outlook Rule to send all mail to an external address that is being bounced back to them.
What I'm looking for is some kind of alert when e-mail volume or maybe e-mail rate goes through the roof.
One of the things that I've been researching is implementing rate limiting on outbound e-mail by IP address. The problem is that all of these 4,000 internal SMTP servers are allowed access due to a 10.* entry in our HAT today. So to get rate limiting going I would have to identify all of those servers and then determine the rate that would be good for each of them that would allow normal traffic but stop at the right point when an issue is occurring. Due to the work that would take I was hoping for something along the lines of an alert when overall mail rate on the IronPort cluster goes higher than X, not knowing what X is yet... Probably configure it something high and then slowly change it to a lower setting until I started getting alerts.
Anything like that exist?

SNMP Alert Destinations

How does an SNMP alert destination configured within OSB actually submit its traps?
For instance, I have an SNMP alert destination configured within OSB named "Dev", with SNMP trap enabled, and reporting/email/JMS disabled.
I have services with SLA rules that are firing, and are generating SLA alerts, and are using this alert destination.
In the underlying Weblogic domain, I have an SNMP Server Agent name "Dev" which points to the actual IP of the SNMP monitoring tool which receives the alerts, and the WL servers are generating alerts successfully for Weblogic - specific events, such as startup, shutdown, etc.
But as yet, we don't see any of the OSB traps arriving. Presumably, the name of the Alert destination defined within OSB must match the name of the WL agent ( although the OSB docs are silent on this ).
So I see SLA alerts in the console, but no sign of any SNMP traps being emitted as a result of the alert.

But as yet, we don't see any of the OSB traps arriving. Presumably, the name of the Alert destination defined within OSB must match the name of the WL agent ( although the OSB docs are silent on this ).Not required.
I have configured SNMP traps with OSB in Single Node and Cluster. If you are using unixes, you might want to check the ports being used. Unless we are under root we cannot use ports 0-1023 and this might be the problem.
Thanks

How to configure IPM alert in IPM 2.6 for Windows?

I am trying to figure out if there is a way to configure IPM to send out an alert when the performace reaches or falls beyond certain threshold? In this case, I am trying to create a new HTTP operation. On the General tab > Latency Threshold Settings > Action Event Type, I select SNMP Trap & NMVT Alert. However, I did not see an option to configure where the alerts will be sent to, as well as, other alert settings. Thank you in advance.

IPM does not send out the alerts itself. Instead, the device will send an SNMP trap if the trigger condition is met. Where these traps are sent depends on your device configuration. Make sure you have defined at least one trap recipient on your IP SLA source device, and make sure that you have configured:
snmp-server enable traps rtr

Unable to set up SNMP alerts

I'm trying to set up SNMP alerts in WL 8.1 and in the server log I see the following:
##<Apr 15, 2005 11:01:20 AM EDT> <Error> <SNMP Agent> <aan1> <dra> <SNMP Service Thread> <<WLS Kernel>> <> <000000> <There are multiple instances of SNMPAgentMBean ... This is an improper configuration>
####<Apr 15, 2005 11:01:20 AM EDT> <Error> <SNMP Agent> <aan1> <dra> <SNMP Service Thread> <<WLS Kernel>> <> <000000> <SNMP Agent will not be activated ... >
I don't see anything that looks funny in the config.xml and don't know how multiple instances of that bean could be created. Does anyone have any experience with this that might help?
Thanks in advance!
Sue Shanabrook

Hello sue,
Take a look at your config.xml, maybe the SNMPAgentMBean's Name is not the same as the domain name, it should be the same.

Snmp alerts for CPU utilization

Hi,
I want to enable snmp alerts on l2 and l3 switches to monitor CPU utilization.
I have Opmanager which is acting as SNMP server.
I have switches L2 and L3 which are running IOS 12.0, 12.1, 12.2
Do all these IOS versions support SNMP alerts?
And also I want to know the commands to be configured on switches for this.
Regards
skrao

You can configure SNMP traps for CPU Thresholding Notification.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6350/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a0080455772.html
You should be ok with the versions you list but check exact IOS version supports it at http://www.cisco.com/go/fn
If you do not want to use traps then there are specific oids that can be polled for 1minute average (1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.57) and also 5 minute average (1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.58). I've used these in the past with no problems. These oids may have been superceeded so check for latest. You can always snmpwalk a device to check oids.
The cisco SNMP navigator is helpful when it comes to oids.
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseOID.do?local=en
If you haven't got any SNMP configured yet on the switch check out http://forum.cisco.com/eforum/servlet/NetProf?page=netprof&forum=Network%20Infrastructure&topic=Network%20Management&CommCmd=MB%3Fcmd%3Ddisplay_location%26location%3D.1ddb4e54

CSA SNMP Alerts

I have configured an Alert for "All Alerts" within CSA to send SNMP to an IP address.
It isn't working.
When I use a network sniffer, I see the packets going out but they are to port 41472\udp instead of 162\udp or 161\udp.
any ideas?
thanks.

Please have a look at the logging files from folder \CSCOpx\CSAMC\log with which you can troubleshoot the problem.

How to configure an Alert message if communicationChannel(JMS) stops

All,
Is there a way how to configure an alert when the communication channel stops.
<b>Scenario:</b>
In the path Runtime workbench->Component Monitoring->Adapter Engine->Communication Channel monitoring, if we see that a communication channel has stopped(RED traffic light as Status), then can we trigger an alert notification for same.
Currently we have alrerts configured for any message/s failure in the JMS Adapter Framework. So can we trigger simmilar alerts when a comm channel stops(for whatever reason).
Thanks in advance
RK

Hi Sreeram,
Thanks for the quick reply.
We have a scenario where we activate individual channels at a given time. So in this case, Adapter will always be in RED as all queues are never running in our scenario.
So we need an ALERT to be triggered for individual comm channels. Is theer any way that you can think of ?
Thanks and regards
RK

How to configure email Alerts in OEM Cloud 12c for Database Servers up/down

Hi everybody,
How to configure email Alerts in OEM Cloud 12c for Database Servers up/down status?
Regards,
Miguel Vega

Hi Miguel Vega,
Information regarding the notifications:
==============================
Configuring notification rules in 12c is different from earlier releases.
The concept and function of notification rules has been replaced with a two-tier system consisting of Incident Rules and Incident Rule Sets :
1. Incident Rules: Operate at the lowest level granularity (on discrete events) and performs the same role as notification rules from earlier releases.
By using incident rules, you can automate the response to incoming incidents and their updates.
A rule contains a set of automated actions to be taken on specific events, incidents or problems.
The actions taken are for example : sending e-mails, creating incidents, updating incidents, and creating tickets.
2. Incident Rule Set: A rule set is a collection of rules that applies to a common set of objects, for example, targets, jobs, and templates.
To help you to achieve the Notification Rules configuration, refer those notes :

Group Policy for configuring SNMP service

HI,
I want to configure SNMP service on HP Physical server for communicating with HP SIM server through GPO as need to congifure it on 100 servers.
Though I have configure a policy but its not working.
When I configured manually on HP Physical server its working fine but when I tried to implement through GPO, SNMP stops responding to SNMP requests.
I need a working GPO.
-- Sandeep Gupta

Hi Sandeep Gupta,
Based on my understanding, there were something wrong when you configured the SNMP service via GPO. As Martin said, please provide us the policy you configured to get more help. In addition, please also tell us your OS information.
I would like to introduce you some knowledge on SNMP settings:
Based on my experience and research, the
SNMP settings (including permissions) are stored in the following registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNMP
Therefore, we can configure a sample computer and then propagate the registry settings to other computers via scripts. Note that, the default ADM file can only
be used to configure "Read only" settings.

How to configure SNMP on DMS or DMP?

for the first, English is not my mother tounge, so I may write a lot of mistake of my words.
One of my customer want to infomation of DMP that is down or up with SNMP tool.
I had download the tool named 'SNMP TESTER' and test with DMP, and DMS.
But the DMP has no SNMP configure set module or command. Only DMM has one sections of it's administrator - settings.
I changed the DMM setting like this
Queries
Query Operations : Enabled
Read Community : public
Notifications
Notification Operations : Enabled
Hostname or IP Address : 172.16.100.143
Port : 162
Trap Community : public
==========================================================
and my SNMP tester settings below.
Host name or address : 172.16.100.251
Community name : public
and these are logs of fail to test.
2012-11-07 17:27:04 - Starting SNMP test...
2012-11-07 17:27:04 - Connecting to
[email protected]
2012-11-07 17:27:05 - ERROR: Unable to complete the test.

==========================================================
My SNMP tester installed PC IP : 172.16.100.143
DMM : 172.16.100.251(Version 5.2)
DMP 4400 : 172.16.100.85 (UP status)
The SNMP service looks enabled. In fact, I'm not sure it's configure is right and working.
I'm not close to SNMP. So, I hope your experts will show me greatful kindness.
just two thing that the customer wants is simple.
OID number status 2 code and show them to within SNMP Tester. (UP & Down 2 status OID code needed)
How can I test the SNMP service is working and Showing the status of DMP within SNMP Tester?
P.S I attached the SNMP Tester program for your testing.

Hi Rafik, here is a basic snmp v1/v2 configuration
snmp-server server
snmp-server community test1234 rw view DefaultSuper
This is basically wide open to anyone who knows the password. This should be enough to get you started then you can tweak additional options as you go. Give this a test, see if you can do what you're trying to do then modify this sample to work for your security needs.
