Configuring Listeners
IBM® Serviceable Event Provider uses these SNMP traps to report problems and send service information to registered listeners. IBM Serviceable Event Provider uses an available intranet connection to transmit traps to the registered listeners.
About this task
You can use the IBM Serviceable Event Provider command-line interface to configure your service connection through the following steps:
Procedure
- Log in to the IBM PowerKVM system.
- In command line, go to /opt/ibm/seprovider/bin.
- Use the command subscribe.
Subscribe trap listeners
Use the subscribe command to subscribe to Serviceable Event Provider.
Syntax
./subscribe [-h hostname] [-p port] [-c Community name]Description
The subscribe command configures the service contact information of the trap listener. The subscribe command sets the configuration information for IBM Serviceable Event Provider instance that is associated with the service contact information. All fields must be entered to run this command. When the command getSubscriber is specified, the new settings are displayed.
Options
- -h hostname
- Specifies the host name or IP address of the subscriber (registered listener) to be configured.
- -p port
- Specifies the port number at which the registered listener listens to the SNMP traps that are sent by Serviceable Event Provider.
- -c community
- Specifies the SNMP community name.
Examples
- Display the current contact settings
This example shows how to use getSubscriber to display the current settings.
./getSubscriber Subscriber_1 hostname = 9.57.20.130 port = 245 community = public Subscriber_2 hostname = 10.0.0.1 port = 163 community = public - Subscribe the listener
This example shows how to use subscribe to configure the trap listener.
./subscribe -h 9.57.20.130 -p 162 -c public Subscription is successfull - Listeners are not configured
When the listeners are not configured, the following message is displayed.
./getSubscriber There are no subscribers configured
