Preparing CA NSM to Receive SNMP Traps from Alerts

You can send alerts in the form of SNMP traps from CA User Activity Reporting Module to any destination in your network that receives and interprets traps. Each trap receiver product has its own requirements.

Prepare CA NSM to receive traps from alerts by:

• Verifying that the destination CA NSM system meets system requirements for receiving SNMP trap data from CA User Activity Reporting Module.
• Configuring CA NSM to receive SNMP traps, including enabling support for SNMP v3, modifying port assignments in various files, and starting the required services.

Prepare CA NSM to interpret traps received from action alerts by:

• Creating a custom MIB for each alert you plan to send as an SNMP trap to CA NSM.
• Importing and compiling the CA-ELM.MIB and all custom MIBs.
