Issue/Introduction

This article explains about the M&R APG trap severities sent to the Smarts SAM Server.

• How can we differentiate between M&R APG trap severities sent to the Smarts Service Assurance Manager (Smarts SAM) Server?
• When sending traps from M&R APG to Smarts SAM server, only severity "2 - notify" and "4 - clear" are recognized

 

Environment

Cause

Without the code modification in the following Fix statement, M&R APG sent to Smarts SAM server will recognize only severity "2 - notify" and "4 - clear".

Resolution

The following code example from the Smarts trap_mgr.conf configuration file shows how to configure Smarts SAM to recognize all M&R APG trap severities:
