3168.0. "possible to create an alarm on unknown domain ?" by ANNECY::BONNIER (Jean-Luc ... EIC/T&N Annecy France) Thu Jun 11 1992 10:04

I am running DECmcc BMS T1.2.7 on VMS 5.5.

I was surprised to see that it's possible to create an alarm rule on an
unknown domain.
(here the domain.test doesn't exist and the CREATE ... RULE ... is accepted !)

MCC> show domain domain.test rule * all attri

Domain DSP_NS:.domain.test Rule NSDPA$LINUTIL$DOMAIN_TEST$NODE4$AEOESA$LINE$QNA-

AT 11-JUN-1992 11:58:20 All Attributes

                                   Name = NSDPA$LINUTIL$DOMAIN_TEST$NODE4$AEOESA
                                          $LINE$QNA-0
                                  State = Disabled
The rule Domain DSP_NS:.domain.test Rule
NSDPA$LINUTIL$DOMAIN_TEST$NODE4$AEOESA$LINE$QNA-0  was not enabled, and
therefore has no counters.

                             Expression = ( NODE4 AEOESA LINE QNA-0 INBOUND
                                          UTILIZATION > 80 , at every 00:15:00)
                  Alarm Fired Procedure = NSDP$ROOT:[NSDP_ALARM]NSDPA_ALARM.COM;
                                          3
                            Batch Queue = "NSDP_ALARMING"
                 Alarm Fired Parameters = "LMB"
                Alarm Exception Procedure = NSDP$ROOT:[NSDP_ALARM]NSDPA_EXCEPTION.
                                          COM;3
                               Severity = Warning
                         Probable Cause = Unknown
                          Target Object = Node4 DSP_NS:.dna_node.aeoesa

Is it a known issue ?
If not it should be QARed.

Thanks.

I believe it is known, but don't know if it is considered a bug or a feature.
