Configure SNMP Trigger Properties at the Domain Level

An administrator with Domain Administrator rights can configure SNMP Trigger properties at the Domain level. When inherited, the SNMP Trigger properties enable Processes to be triggered upon the receipt of an SNMP trap.

Before you begin configuring the SNMP Trigger properties, verify that port 162 is accessible to CA Process Automation. Modify the SNMP traps listening port in the CA Process Automation properties file if you use an alternative port.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Configuration tab, select Domain, and click Lock.
2. Click the Triggers tab, right-click SNMP Trigger, and then click Edit.
3. Click Add Parameter.
4. On the SNMP Trigger window, complete the Trap filter fields as appropriate.
5. Verify that your entries are valid.

   The following example filter accepts SNMP traps from any host that have the following characteristics:

   • An IP address between 138.42.7.1 and 138.42.7.254 with an OID that begins with 1.3.6.1.4.1.[x.x.x.x.x]
   • At least one payload value that matches the literal string "Test Payload for trigger."

   When the product receives an SNMP trap matching these criteria, it triggers the process RunProcess1 in the path /Test.

   

6. Click the Move Up and Move Down buttons as appropriate to sequence the list by precedence. Each filter has precedence over the filters that are listed below it.

   

7. Click Save.
8. Select Domain and click Unlock.
