1441.0. "Getting Alarming to work." by KERNEL::OSBORNE () Wed Sep 04 1991 08:19

    I am just starting to use MCC BMS (V1.1) and am having a go at the
    alarm rules but have a problem that I cannot quickly see the resolution
    to.
    
    I have created two rules within a domain for a Lanbridge 100 entity
    using the Expression_rule_format_1 as follows;
    
    1)Entity: Domain DSP_NS:.CSC Rule Bridge_In_LTM_Mode
    
      Expression- (Bridge Bridges.nmdsdav Bridge Function=LTM Listener)at
      eve :02
    
      Severity- Clear
    
    2)Entity: Domain DSP_NS:.CSC Rule Bridge_Not_In_LTM_Mode
    
      Expression- (Bridge Bridges.nmdsdav Bridge Function<>LTM Listener)at
      eve :02
    
      Severity- Critical
    
    The "Bridge Icon changes to the color for Clear and if I make the
    Bridge a "bridge" or power it off the Icon goes to the Critial color,
    but if I bring the Bridge back in LTM mode it does not change color to
    Clear.
    
    Have I got my theory wrong, my syntax wrong or?.
    
    I have also got the rules set so they are supposed to dispatch mail but
    only the Exception mail seems to work.
    
    Also out of interest, if one is using the DECWindows interface to
    create rules are there any plans to increase the number or characters
    you can put in the Expression rule. It gets tight if you have some big
    entity names.

1441.1V1.1 shows HIGHEST severityBSYBEE::EGOLFJohn C. Egolf LKG2-2/T02 x226-7874Wed Sep 04 1991 11:0511
	Dave,

	You've run into the classic problem.

	In V1.1, we show the "HIGHEST" severity, not the last.  You can
	go  from  "clear"  to "critical", but not  from  "critical"  to
	"clear".  In V1.2 you will have the choice to show the highest,
	or the last severity.

	The alarm rule creation from  the  map  is going to be inproved
	for V1.2

Re 1441.0 

	To increase the number of characters you can put in the Expression
rule, press MB2 over the Expression text field.  This allows you to enter more
characters in the field and see them all.

    What BRILLIANT people you are!!!. Thanks for the replies. I was
    wondering if my sanity was in question on the alarming bit.
