Cisco Internal Use Only | Cisco Systems 1 manual

Note:

1.NAM Alarms are obtained by Cisco PVM from the RMON MIB in the NAM. Since the MIB information does not specify a severity level, Cisco PVM always designates a NAM alarm as Minor severity level.

2.NAM Alarms can also be raised due to threshold violations in the NAM. If the NAM alarm was raised as a result of a threshold violation in the NAM, the Description field in the alert detail denotes the name of the threshold in the NAM that was violated. If the threshold was created in Cisco PVM, the description gives you the name of the threshold in PVM.

3.System Events can include status messages and error condition notifications from server-side components in Cisco PVM. For example, when importing devices from a CSV file, you notice status and error messages from the Import Manager. You may see SNMP timeout messages if Cisco PVM is unable to communicate with a device. You also see system health alerts for database and CPU utilizations.

4.System health monitoring is performed through a java process. The thresholds and severity levels used in monitoring the system performance are fixed and cannot be changed.

You can look at the Alerts detail screen by clicking the severity link on the Alerts list page. The Alert detail screen provides available information on the particular alert.
