Hi all,
I've seen some buggy behavior with the automatic event code selection in 9.x. Between Event Configuration and MIB tools, there are at least 2 places where OneClick's assumption of the "next valid event ID" can get confused. MIB tools is especially dangerous because mapping MIB traps to events may overwrite a range of previously-built user-defined IDs all at once, and thus overwrite a lot of your custom work. Event Configuration gives you the opportunity to select the new or copied event ID, I recommend that you inspect this ID and verify that you have not used it already. I believe there is an option to select a starting ID in MIB tools as well, but it has been a while since I have used that feature. CA has provided me one patch for this bug already (for release 9.1.0), but the problem came back. We are updating to 9.1.2 next week, will advise the mailing list if this issue is resolved after the patch. Thank you, --Mark S ________________________________ Mark Serencha - Inforonics LLC - (m) +1-781-439-0519 - [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> - ** Inforonics acquires Vigilant Enterprise Solutions ** <blocked::http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/home/permalink/?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20090818005912&newsLang=en> From: Cutting, Jeremiah [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, January 21, 2010 2:45 PM To: spectrum Cc: Rafael Kozlowski Subject: RE: [spectrum] event code numbering This looks like right to me. I added some additional events directly in EventDisp, reloaded events on the VNM in OneClick, and when I went to map a trap afterwards the event code matched the next value in sequence from the EventDisp. Interestingly, after I cancelled the map operation and tried to map again, the event code value automatically increased by 1, even though nothing new was actually added. So OneClick must be reading the value from EventDisp when the events are loaded, and then must track the value independently afterwards.

Is it a value in a database, file, etc.?
