Supported event sources
Netcool/OMNIbus Knowledge Library supports devices produced by a number of third party vendors. For each vendor, this appendix lists the devices supported, and for those that generate SNMP trap-based events, it also lists the MIBs for which rules files have been written.
If you are using a device that is not listed below, you
have the following options:
- Consult the MIB Manager FAQ. See:
- Raise a Request for Enhancement to the NcKL. For details of this process see:
- Develop your own rules files. For details see the rules file programming documentation:
The rules files that are supplied with Netcool/OMNIbus Knowledge
Library can
be used in place of the generic snmptrap.rules file
that is supplied with the Netcool/OMNIbus SNMP Probe. The rules files
specific to the vendor are available in the appropriate subdirectory
within: $NC_RULES_HOME/include-snmptrap/. For
example, rules files specific to the vendor Adtran are available in: $NC_RULES_HOME/include-snmptrap/adtran/.
Note: The $NC_RULES_HOME variable specifies
where the rules file is located and must be set to enable probes to
utilize the Netcool/OMNIbus Knowledge
Library.
To set the $NC_RULES_HOME variable, see the Extracting the updated rules files section.
Within the topics that follow, MIBs for which new rules files have been written, or MIBs for which existing rules files have been updated, are marked as added or updated respectively.
