2660.0. "PhaseV event alarming" by SEDSWS::MALLOY () Tue Mar 31 1992 09:41

Can someone help me with Phase event alarming.

Am receiving events from the WANrouter.

I can find any documentation to help with Phasev alarm rules.
The FCL help is a waste of time and the error message fails to  give me any 
clues.


A few sample OSI alarms rule would be great.
		occurs rule
		polling rules  etc

2660.1need to coordinate this with phase-5 teamMOLAR::ROBERTSKeith Roberts - DECmcc Toolkit TeamTue Mar 31 1992 15:048
  Sorry but you can not write a rule on Event Arguments  8(

  As far as the error condition (Invalid In-P) .. the Alarms Team
  must coordinate this with DECnet Phase 5 team, to figure out why
  the GETEVENT NODE <foo> directive (Alarms uses this directive to get
  the events from the Phase-5 am) is returning this error code.

As I raised this same problem in 2585 can someone check that it has actually 
been QARed.

2660.3Try events generated by HDLCRDGENG::PRATTWed Apr 01 1992 13:1128
Gary,

Re .0 

You should be able to resolve you circuit up/down problem by setting your alarm
to look for the following events...

HDLC LINK xxx Link Up

and 

HDLC LINK xxx Link Down

or possibly

HDLC LINK xxx LOGICAL STATION xxx Station Halted

and

HDLC LINK XXX LOGICAL STATION xxx Station Running

Although you will not be able to test/prove these until the bug with GetEvent 
has been fixed (although you could use Any Event as temp solution - this is what
I'm currently using).

Cheers

2660.4Alarms is building the Event Id List correctlyMOLAR::ROBERTSKeith Roberts - DECmcc Toolkit TeamWed Apr 01 1992 13:3912
RE: .2

  The QAR on how Alarms builds the Event Id List (used by the GetEvent
  directive to specify which events are wanted) is built correctly.

  The QAR which was filed on this was a mistake -- the real problem was
  something else.

  In the mean time, I am trying to find out why the Invalid In-P error
  is getting generated for this Rule.

2660.5DNA5 AM Validation of In-PMOLAR::ROBERTSKeith Roberts - DECmcc Toolkit TeamThu Apr 02 1992 11:408
  I checked with the DNA5 AM team about how the In-P Call Argument
  is validated.  They are checking the Descriptor 'dtype' field for
  a specific value.  Alarms is not setting this field.

  The DNA5 team will be changing their validation code to not check
  this field.  I imagine this fix will be in the Field Test Update kit.
