J.10.5.5.2 XML Schema for Alarm Rules

Alarm rules are defined in XML, specifically, in a file named $HOME/xml/ruledata.xml. These alarm

rules are read once when NMServer starts. When events are processed, the rules are queried from

memory to determine what action, with regard to alarms, should be taken on the event. There are three

types of alarm rules defined in the XML schema: Correlated, Correlated Bitmap, and Transient.

Specifics on each of these three types are as follows.

1. Correlated Alarm Rule Type

The correlated alarm rule type is the most common in ruledata.xml. This rule is used when a network

element can be in only one of many states at any one time. If the entity were to change states, then the

previous alarm state would be cleared. Most network elements managed by CTM fall into this category.

A simple example is the database sync-up status of a node. The sync-up status can be one of Partial

Sync-Up, Sync-Up Failed, or In Sync. Any one of these states correlates out any other. See FigureJ-3.
