Configuring Cisco Trap ciscoEpmNotificationAlarmRev1 for Conditional Severity Alarms
Article ID: 278904

Issue/Introduction
Some device traps do not have separate traps for different severities and will include the severity as part of the alarm. Often the severity might
be in the form of a string (ex. Critical) or a numerical value that does not match the Spectrum severity numerical value. In these cases, conditional
severity maps can be created and used to convert the trap varbind value to a Spectrum severity.
Environment
Spectrum ANY
Resolution
The Cisco Event ciscoEpmNotificationAlarmRev1 contains varbinds that contain the severity and the alarm ID which we
will use for the conditional severity and the Event Discriminator (to distinguish between other trap event using the same OID)
Variables we will use (From AlertMap file, See Additional Info)
# cenAlarmSeverity
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.311.1.1.2.1.17(17,0)\ <~~ Variable 17 cenAlarmSeverity
# cenAlertID
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.311.1.1.2.1.29(29,0) <~~ Variable 29 cenAlertID
- Using the Event Configuration Gui, Find event 210c0d
Severity: Conditional
Severity Map File: <Will be populated when it is created via Configure Button>
Event variable: 17 (cenAlarmSeverity variable contains the variable)
Cause Code: 0x21c0d
Event Variable Discriminator: 29 (cenAlertID)
