610.0. "Historian use of events" by JETSAM::WOODCOCK () Thu Jan 10 1991 14:22

Hi there,

Will there be any support in the future for the HISTORIAN to capture
and use data from EVENTS? For example, event 0.8 notifies the user
that the counters have automatically zeroed. But in doing this it
sends the counter info before resetting the values to zero. I couldn't
help but notice that GETEVENT displayed the info. If HISTORIAN had
the ability to capture and store this data it could be used by PA and 
EXPORTER just like the polled data is today. All the network manager
need do is set the counter timer and sink the event. The timer would
be set for the granularity of reports needed. If the report detail is
needed down to the hour a setting of 3600 is appropriate. This would
be the ULTIMATE for a network manager and would also reduce MCC resource
needs (no more polling)!! Anything in the works for investigating the
potential of this Class A approach?

cheers,
brad...

    The Notification FM team and the Historian team have been discussing
    just this. The major obstacle we had was that the event (or to use
    our term, the occurrence) data was not of the same format as the
    attribute information.
    
    The problems are all surmountable, at this time though I do not
    know when/if this is scheduled.
