Configuring SNMP Messages from BE 8.5

[gforce2002]

I currently have BE set up to send SNMP message to a Compaq Insight Manager server, which initiates and email notification. It's working great - except for the fact that our backups run at night and that we have a couple of servers which require two tapes. This means that the tape has to be changed. Backup Exec sends out an SNMP trap for "Backup Loader requires attention" every 10 minutes or so, which results in about 50-60 emails by the time I arrive every morning! Anyway, does anyone know of a way to configure BE to suppress this particular message or even a way to change the severity of this message to "Informational" instead of "Major". At least then I could filter it out. I know that under BE the only setting through the interface is to turn SNMP on or off. Any help would be appreciated!

Found a way to change the message type to "Informational" by editing the BE MIB file for Insight Manager. But if anyone knows a way to suppress this specific message the info would still be appreciated. Thanks.

Check these articles out; but I don't think it is that configurable:
