Ericsson LBI-39169 manual Latching Transient Events, Associating Actions With Events

MONITORING EDACS FAULT CONDITIONS LBI-39169

/usr/EDACS/conf/C/ed_trapd.conf. The severity levels and category will not be restored and will remain as customized by the user. The restore operation will not erase the actions which have been associated with individual alarms.

NOTE

NOTE

Modifications to severity level will be made to all devices with that alarm. If the alarm is currently active, the icon will reflect the severity level change.

8.2.2 Latching Transient Events

If faults are setting and clearing is a short time frame, they may not be visually obvious. Of course the events would be listed in the Event History. A popup message may be associated with any event to capture the transient nature. Link failures that come and go are candidates for this action.

To associate a popup message with a particular event one may either invoke the EDACS->Fault Configuration menu item, which requires the user to locate the event under the enterprise agent providing the event, or select the event in the event browser and select the event browser Actions->Event Configuration, which points the user to the event the user wishes to add the popup to. Either procedure will bring up the Event Configuration window.

NOTE: If the event has the concept of setting and clearing, like a link failure, then the popup will occur on both the setting and clearing event.

8.2.3 Associating Actions With Events

Any command executable from the UNIX command prompt may be associated with an event including a email message or a beep.

To associate an action with a particular event one may either invoke the EDACS->Fault Configuration menu item, which requires the user to locate the event under the enterprise agent providing the event, or highlight the event in the event browser and select the Event Browser Actions->Event Configuration, which points the user to the event the user wishes to add the action to.

NOTE: If the event has the concept of setting and clearing, like a link failure, then the popup will occur on both the setting and clearing event.

8.2.4 Disabling Events at Remote Agent

Devices

Erroneous events, which may be caused by broken
hardware, may be disabled at the remote platform. In
general, each event with the concept of setting and
clearing may be individually disabled at the remote
platform. Note: this disables the event number. For
example, if the SM_Site_Link event is disabled at the
System Manager, than all SM_Site_Link events are	Figure 9 - Event Configuration
disabled even if only one site link is a problem.

You may not individually enable/disable events reported by the IMC Manager. However, it does support a enable/disable all. Refer to the System Manual, LBI-39215, for a listing of Events and the MIB Objects used to disable them.
