Preparing CA Spectrum to Receive SNMP Traps from Alerts

You can send alerts in the form of SNMP traps from CA Enterprise Log Manager to any destination in your network that receives and interprets traps. Each trap receiver product has its own requirements.

Prepare CA Spectrum to receive traps from CA Enterprise Log Manager action alerts by:

• Creating a CA Spectrum southbound gateway integration, an integration point that can support any incoming alert data stream format from a third-party system, including SNMP traps such as those generated by CA Enterprise Log Manager.
• Creating a model of the CA Enterprise Log Manager node to enable receipt of SNMP v3 traps.
• Downloading the CA Enterprise Log Manager MIB.
• Importing the CA Enterprise Log Manager MIB into CA Spectrum.

The process for creating a southbound gateway integration is fully documented in the Spectrum Southbound Gateway Toolkit Guide. Creating a southbound gateway integration includes mapping SNMP traps to CA Spectrum events in an AlertMap file and defining the required models. The southbound gateway integration point accepts alert data from third-party systems and displays it within OneClick.

After downloading the MIB file from the CA Enterprise Log Manager product page on Support Online or retrieving it from the installation DVD, you can import it into CA Spectrum. For more information about using the MIB Tool for importing in CA Spectrum OneClick, see the CA Spectrum Device Management User Guide.
