Issue/Introduction

After configuring traps using the event data template and creating the EventAdmin model with the 3rd party IP address, Spectrum fails to create the EventModels underneath the EventAdmin model. The events are generated incorrectly on the EventAdmin model. 

Environment

DX NetOps Spectrum: All Releases. 

Cause

Spectrum requires the event code to be defined in the gen_app_gw/EventAdmin/EventDisp file. This explicity tells Spectrum to process the event as a southbound gateway event. 

Resolution

1. Ensure the trap is mapped correctly using the event variables in the Event Data Template.

2. Add the EventCode to the $SPECROOT/custom/gen_app_gw/EventAdmin/EventDisp file.

3. Update the Event Configuration files. 

The event models should now be created underneath the EventAdmin models when a new trap is sent to Spectrum.
