Configure CA Server Automation to Forward Events

Configure the product to forward events to a CA or third-party SNMP Event Manager. The process consists of two parts:

1. Configure the event manager to receive CA Server Automation traps or events.
2. Configure CA Server Automation to forward the events.

The following procedure assumes that you have configured your Event Manager console to receive events.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the CA Server Automation user interface.
2. Click Administration.

   The Administration page appears.

3. Click Configuration.

   The Configuration page appears.

4. Click Event in the left pane.

   The Event pane appears.

5. Click + (Add).

   The Forwarding and Type fields are automatically populated.

   Note: If these fields do not populate, restart Apache Tomcat.

6. Enter the management server name in the Server field.
7. Enter a different port number for SNMP or leave the default port 162, which is automatically populated.
8. Click OK.

   A confirmation message appears.

9. Click Save to save the updated Event Forwarding record.

   Your settings are updated and the configuration information appears. CA Server Automation is now configured to forward events.
