How to Set Up Traps to Work with External Fault Management Tools

You can integrate traps that CA Network Flow Analysis generates with other network management tools. The traps provide the following information, which can be useful in other tools:

• Interface that is affected by the threshold
• Protocol that is affected by the threshold
• Direction of traffic that is affected by the threshold (in, out, or both)
• Threshold that was crossed (for example, 1.23 Mb/s)
• Actual observed traffic that triggered the trap (for example, 1.30 Mb/s)
• Whether the notification indicates a newly observed threshold violation or a cleared threshold violation. For a cleared threshold violation, the reason for clearance is included. The reasons are:
  • Rate fell below the threshold.
  • No data was observed for the last time period.
  • A time filter prevented data from being considered.
