Verify the Received Events and Alarms in OneClick

The EventAdmin Model receives an event from CA Nimsoft and sends it to the EventModel in OneClick. The event generates an alarm on this model. To verify that the integration is configured correctly, we recommend viewing the details of the alarm data from the Alarm Details tab in OneClick. The generic and subsystem-specific events are created in OneClick. You can also verify the design pattern of these events/alarms.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open the OneClick Console.
  2. Select the EventModel in the Navigation panel.
  3. To view events, click the Events tab in the Contents panel.

    Events are displayed with the following event types:

    Generic Events

    Indicates the events that are not related to CPU, Disk, and Memory subsystems.

    The range starts from 0x06330000 - 0x6330005.

    Subsystem Specific Events

    Indicates the events that are related to CPU, Disk, and Memory subsystems. You can verify the following event range for the subsytem-specific events:

    • CPU

      0x06330050 - 0x6330055

    • Disk

      0x06330030 - 0x6330035

    • Memory

      0x06330040 - 0x6330045

  4. Verify the following design pattern of these events/alarms:

    Note: You can review the following table to know how the CA Nimsoft message severities are mapped to CA Spectrum events and alarms:

  5. To view alarms, click the Alarms tab.

    Alarms are displayed.

  6. Click the Alarm Details tab in the Component Detail panel to view the alarm details.

    Events and Alarms that are generated in OneClick are verified.

Note: Alarms that are manually cleared in the Nimsoft Alarm Console do not clear the corresponding alarms in CA Spectrum. This behavior is caused by a known imitation of the SNMP Gateway probe (snmpgtw). Therefore, when you clear alarms in CA Nimsoft, the alarms accumulate in CA Spectrum, causing high alarm counts. These alarms must be manually cleared in CA Spectrum.
