Description: HP Enterprise Management System MIB providing event management and alarm notification objects for HP network equipment.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is HP-EMS?

HP-EMS is an HP MIB module dedicated entirely to describing SNMP traps generated by HP's Event Monitor Service (EMS), a fault- and event-notification subsystem for HP network equipment. Rather than defining pollable configuration or counter objects, it defines the trap/notification structure used to alert management stations when the EMS detects noteworthy events on the device. Its monitoring relevance is therefore centered on faults and event alerts rather than continuously polled hardware counters: it enables asynchronous notification of conditions the device's EMS considers significant, which could include hardware or environmental faults depending on the underlying event sources feeding the EMS. As a trap-defining module it depends conceptually on whatever underlying HP hardware/software MIBs supply the actual monitored conditions that trigger EMS events. It is deployed on HP network equipment running the Event Monitor Service, where administrators want push-based alerting rather than only polling. Engineers can download the HP-EMS file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HP-EMS. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • HP network equipment running Event Monitor Service

Monitoring Examples

No pollable data objects were present in the sample for this module -- it defines trap/notification structures for the Event Monitor Service rather than tables of monitorable counters. An NMS would register to receive HP-EMS traps and react when EMS determines an event has occurred, but the specific trap varbinds are not present in the available sample. Because this module's content is fault-notification-only, no concrete polling scenario can be honestly constructed here.
