1700.0. "Help on ALARM RULE.." by MCIS5::ENSLEY () Wed Oct 23 1991 17:38

    I am sorta new to using DECmcc, so if this is a dumb question,
    my apologies....
    
    I created an alarm rule for node MRO4AB
    
       CREATE MCC 0 ALARMS RULE CIRCUIT_SUBSTATE -
       EXPRESSION = (CHANGE_OF(NODE4 MRO4AB CIRCUIT SYN-0 SUBSTATE, NONE...
       .....
       ......
    
    
    I then created another CIRCUIT_SUBSTATE alarm for node UPOAA.
    
    What SHOW command can I use to look at them, either individually or
    both at the same time?
    
    
    Thanks.

1700.1Use the Show command !! 8)NANOVX::ROBERTSKeith Roberts - DECmcc Toolkit TeamWed Oct 23 1991 18:3618
#1 You cannot have multiple rules with the same name .. You didn't
   try that - did you ?

#2 If the Create commands is:

   Create mcc 0 alarms rule foo expr=(node4 rome maximum address > 50)

   Then the show command is:

   Show mcc 0 alarms rule foo all characteristics

#3 You cannot specify multiple entities (ie, multiple rule names) in
   a directive - but Alarms does support FULL wildcards:

   Show mcc 0 alarms rule * all characteristics

    #1  How then can I test the circuit_substate on multiple nodes?
    
    #2  I thought an "entity" were devices like Nodes or Bridges?

>> How then can I test the circuit_substate on multiple nodes?

You have to create multiple rules !!

	Create mcc 0 alarms rule circuit_substate_ROME -
	expr=(node4 rome ...)

	Create mcc 0 alarms rule circuit_substate_PARIS -
	expr=(node4 paris ...)

	Enable mcc 0 alarms rule circuit_substate_ROME
        Enable mcc 0 alarms rule circuit_sutstate_PARIS

If Global wildcards was available [ but for v1.2 it won't be 8(  ]
you could put your nodes of interest in a domain, and enable
a rule with a global wildcard and the domain.  All the nodes in the
domain would be tested -- with a single rule --

>>  I thought an "entity" were devices like Nodes or Bridges?

Yes those are entities -- but so isn't an Alarm Rule too.  The entity
model for Alarms is:

	MCC    <instance name>
	Alarms <null-instance>
	Rule   <instance name>

Does this make it any clearer?

    Yes, thanks.
    
    Taking me a while to get used to all the nomenclature DECmcc uses!!
1700.5DECmcc has a lot of new termsNANOVX::ROBERTSKeith Roberts - DECmcc Toolkit TeamThu Oct 24 1991 13:416
>> Taking me a while to get used to all the nomenclature DECmcc uses!!

YES!  DECmcc does define a lot of new terms, and it takes a bit to understand
them ...

    I know this is a bit late, 
    
    note that you can create rules of the same name, as long as
    they are defined for different domains.
    
    Either :
    
    create mcc 0 alarm rule foo ....., in domain bar
    create mcc 0 alarm rule foo .... , in domain bar2
    
    or 
    
    create domain bar rule foo ...
    create domain bar2 rule foo ...
