Sources of Alarms On a Device
Sources of Alarms On a Device
The following basic sources of alarms exist in the system which indicate a problem in the network:
•Service
Service alarms can also be generated by the gateway, for example. the vpn leak alarm.
•SNMP
•
•
–Equal or not equal to a target value.
–Exceeding a defined value range (defined by maximum and minimum thresholds, including hysteresis), for example CPU level of a device.
–Exceeding a defined rate (calculated across time), for example bandwidth or utilization rate of a link.
•System
For information about TCAs see the Cisco Active Network Abstraction Customization User Guide.
Alarm Integrity
When the VNE shuts down while it still has open alarms associated with it, “fixing” events which occur during the down period will be consolidated when the VNE is reloaded.
Integrity Service
The integrity service is an internal service that runs on the gateway and/or the units, which is responsible for the stability of the system by running integrity tests in order to maintain the database and eliminate clutter in the system. In order to prevent the session from stopping, the integrity service tests are run on a different thread in a separate directory called integrity.
The service integrity tests are run:
•
To run a test, the user should cd to the integrity dir, and then enter executeTest followed by the test name. The user can pass parameters to the tests using Cisco ANA Shell.
