Viewing CSP Alarms in HP Openview

If you are using HP Openview Network Node Manager (NNM) to manage your CSP, this procedure will help you format the alarms.

By default, NNM does not print out notifications to the alarm viewer log window. If you want to enable this printout, you must update the trapd.conf file that is part of NNM. You can do this by changing the configuration through the Event Configuration dialog box for each notification. Excel has provided a configuration file that can be installed in the NNM so you do not need to configure each notification individually.

Before you begin

Start NNM. Make sure that the bin directory of the NNM installation is in your path.
