1109.0. "Alarm fire on adjacency down?" by SEDSWS::BAKER (Paul Baker, UK Product and Technology Group - 844 3311) Fri Jun 07 1991 08:39

    
    I've looked through this notes file for this info without success, but
    if someone knows where it is please give me a pointer.

    I'm trying to set up alarms to fire if a phase IV node goes down. The local
    designated router is sinking all events to my MCC system, and when a
    node goes down I receive a 4.18 adjacency down event. My problem is how
    to get an alarm to fire on this event, as adjacency down is not listed
    as a triggerable event when doing a "getevent node4 abcdef ?"

    I also need to be able to automatically enable all the alarms at boot
    time and have them continually active, updating any running Iconic map. 

    All ideas gratefully received.

    Paul.

1109.1	give this a try	JETSAM::WOODCOCK		`Fri Jun 07 1991 08:56`	16
	> I've looked through this notes file for this info without success, but > if someone knows where it is please give me a pointer. Note 807 gives a successful syntax for this expression. MCC_STARTUP_DNA4_EVL.COM must be setup and run to pass this event also. > I also need to be able to automatically enable all the alarms at boot > time and have them continually active, updating any running Iconic map. Submit a .com to batch which envokes MCC, enables all rules, then issue a command with an open ended -AT EVERY- clause to keep the process running. brad...
1109.2	Thanks	SEDSWS::BAKER	Paul Baker, UK Product and Technology Group - 844 3311	`Mon Jun 10 1991 06:18`	7
	Brad, Thanks for the pointer, must have mised that one. I'll give it a try. Paul.
1109.3	Adjacent Events happen to Adjacent Nodes	TOOK::CAREY		`Tue Jun 11 1991 11:34`	18
	Paul, One other thing to notice: DECmcc expects events to fire against related entities. In this case, the event doesn't occur against a specified Node4, but against the related Adjacent Node entity, specified as "Node4 blah Circuit blah-blad Adjacent Node name" So if you want to see a change of adjacency on the Node4 ABCDEF, you could request: GETEVENT NODE4 ABCDEF CIRCUIT * ADJ NODE * Any Event or select the specific events from the list of events available to fire on an adjacent node. -Jim Carey
1109.4		NYFDIN::SAMBAMURTY	Raja	`Wed Feb 19 1992 10:48`	12
	I have tried this on T1.2.4 and it doesn't quite work (I think I read somewhere that the EFT has a bug). My rule is (OCCURS (NODE4 mynode CIRCUIT * ADJACENT NODE * ADJACENCY DOWN). mynode reports that adjacencies are down (I find this using the "sink" with rep/ena; yes I also have the MCC_*EVL running). Can someone tell if this is fixed in V1.2 ? Thanks reg Raja
1109.5	Try the FCL getevent directive	NANOVX::ROBERTS	Keith Roberts - DECmcc Toolkit Team	`Thu Feb 20 1992 16:51`	12
	re: .4 Could you try : getevnet NODE4 mynode CIRCUIT * ADJACENT NODE * ADJACENCY DOWN instead of enabling the rule. This is the command that Alarms uses to get your Event Data. If this command doesn't work correctly, then Alarms can not possible work either. Thanks, Keith
1109.6	Tried and not works...	NYFDIN::SAMBAMURTY	Raja	`Fri Feb 21 1992 10:56`	17
	� <<< Note 1109.5 by NANOVX::ROBERTS "Keith Roberts - DECmcc Toolkit Team" >>> � -< Try the FCL getevent directive >- � Could you try : � getevnet NODE4 mynode CIRCUIT * ADJACENT NODE * ADJACENCY DOWN Keith, I had already tried this (when I found that the enabling doesn't work) to no avail. It just sits there, and I can see adjacencies down messages in the operator window. Maybe I will go ahead and QAR this (I am assuming from a lack of lot replies that this has not been QARed already). Thanks Raja
1109.7	QAR 2183	NYFDIN::SAMBAMURTY	Raja	`Fri Feb 21 1992 14:08`	4
	Going thru the QAR database (MCC_INTERNAL), I noticed that this has already been entered (QAR #2183) with no response. Raja
1109.8	If getevent directive is not working ... alarms OCCURS rule can't work either	NANOVX::ROBERTS	Keith Roberts - DECmcc Toolkit Team	`Fri Feb 21 1992 17:15`	9
	Raja, If the Getevent directive is not picking up the event, the Alarms cannot possible get it either, as Alarms issues this same directive. It may be a problem in the way the Event Sink was setup ... or in the DNA4 AM Event code. /keith
1109.9	problem with alarms...	NYFDIN::SAMBAMURTY	Raja	`Mon Feb 24 1992 10:40`	13
	Keith, I think the event sink is setup ok. I had the same feature working under V1.1. I think this is problem in T1.2.4 (I think few other people have had the same problem). In my operator enabled window, I can see the adjacency up/down events "sinked" in. Did you try this and get this to work under T1.2.4 ? I would be real curious....thanks reg Raja
1109.10		NYFDIN::SAMBAMURTY	Raja	`Mon Feb 24 1992 10:50`	2
	Also, note 2158 seems to have had the same problem (and hence the QAR 2183). There have been no solution related replies to either one.
1109.11	Could someone from the DNA4-AM help here ??	NANOVX::ROBERTS	Keith Roberts - DECmcc Toolkit Team	`Mon Feb 24 1992 13:56`	0
1109.12	try new kit	TOOK::JEAN_LEE		`Tue Feb 25 1992 14:53`	13
	Raja, I believe this problem has been addressed and fixed in the newly released base level. The update kit was announced in MCC notesfile 3.135. Please try this new kit. Like Keith suggested, use getevent directive first to make sure DNA4 has no problem. Then try alarm rule. DNA4 team is going thru personnel change. Sorry we couldn't repond sooner. Jean
