1453.0. "Historian and alarms" by ANOSWS::COMFORT (Spent a little time on the hill) Thu Sep 05 1991 14:30

    
    Hi,
    
    I am interested in determining if future releases of the historian will
    allow recording of alarm counters.  I beleive that it currently
    only supports recording of counters from Phase IV nodes and bridges.
    The basis for this question is as follows:
    
	My customer site has a number of overseas circuits, their own
    bandwidth, common carrier pipes as well as switched connections via
    X.25.  We currently are alarming on circuit state changes on all
    circuits, backup circuits included.  It is highly desirable to provide
    a profile of the number of times a circuit is down with respect
    to the particular service provider.  This will provide meaningful
    data for determinations about the overall quality of service provided
    and connectivity.
    
    Thanks,

    my understanding is that the hisotrian allows recording of any entity
    counters, where the entities management module supports the show
    all counters commnad.
    
    The actual problem here is that the historian runs detached and
    the alarms FM runs within the process from which it was enabled,
    and the counters are only available from within that process, making
    them unavailable to the historian. In the ultrix model this has
    been solved but for the VMS model more work is required, and I don't
    know of a scheduled date for this task.
