Sending alerts and xAlerts to an event management system

This procedure describes how to send alerts and xAlerts to your organization's event management system via SNMP.

For a detailed list of trap variables, see SNMP trap format.

To send alerts and xAlerts to an event management system:

1. Copy the Control-M/EM MIB file from the following location to your SNMP server.

   Control-M EM 9.0.21\Data\ BMC-CONTROLMEM-MIB.txt

2. From the CCM, define the following system parameters, as described in Defining Control-M/EM system parameters:
   • SNMPHost: Define the hostname of the SNMP server where the alerts are sent.
   • SNMPSendActive: Change the value to 1 to generate SNMP messages for Active Alerts.
   • SendSNMP: Change the value to 0 to send alerts to SNMP server only.
   • SendAlertNotesSnmp: Change the value to 1 if you want to send the NOTES field to the SNMP server.
   • XAlertsEnableSending: Change the value to 1 to enable xAlert sending.
   • XAlertsSnmpHosts: Define the hostname of the SNMP server where the xAlerts are sent.
   • XalertsSendSnmp: Change the value to 1 to send xAlerts to SNMP server only.

   For more information about Alert parameters, see Control-M/EM general parameters.

3. Recycle the Gateway.
4. To test an alert, order a job that sends a notification to the Alerts window.
