Configure Traps

The next step is to configure the trap settings in CA Network Flow Analysis, verify that CA Performance Center receives events from the traps, and set up email notifications for the events.

Trap configuration is complete when you have completed the following tasks:

• Configure the trap destination in the NFA console:
  • For Watchdog traps, use the Watchdog Settings page.
  • For Reaper traps, use the Application Settings page.
• Create the traps that you need, as described in the CA Network Flow Analysis Administrator Guide Create Traps topic.
• Resync CA Network Flow Analysis on the CA Performance Center Manage Data Sources page.
• (Optional) Check the logs to verify that events have been generated and have been forwarded to the Event Manager.
• Verify that the events are displayed on the CA Performance Center Events Display page.
• (Optional) If the Events Display page does not show the events as expected, verify that the Event Manager host name is resolvable by the DNS server for CA Network Flow Analysis.
• (Optional) Set up email notifications for the events that interest you.
