5198.0. "Alarm rules help needed" by MARVA2::DISNEY (Jim Disney, dtn 339-5753) Mon Jun 14 1993 19:29

Please help me to:

1) Have mcc_alarms_mail_alarm.com only send mail once for a new alarm similar
   to the notification window.  The notification window is only updated once, 
   while mail is sent at each polling interval for a given alarm.
   
2) Automatically enable the alarm rules.

I'm using DECmcc 1.3 on vms 5.5-2 and have defined the following alarm rule:

create domain .bd rule ip_unreachable -
expression = [snmp * ipReachability <> up , at every 00:01:00] ,-
severity = critical ,-
category = "IP entity unreachable" ,-
auto enable = yes ,-
description = "If a node becomes unreacable..." ,-
alarm fired procedure = mcc_system:mcc_alarms_mail_alarm.com ,-
alarm exception procedure = mcc_system:mcc_alarms_mail_exception.com ,-
alarm fired parameter = "system"

Thanks in advance for your help.

    1.  Here's just an idea that came to my mind....
    
    Have your own alarms-batch procedure keep a list of reachable nodes
    and if the node which is causing the rule to fire is already
    unreachable then don't call the MCC_ALARM_MAIL_ALARMS.COM procedure
    otherwise call it.  Also Enable a rule to determine when it comes
    reachable and the fired procedure remove the previously unreachable
    IP-node from the list.
    
    
    2.  Use the ASSET 'DETmcc' which is a process running in background
    executing DEmcc, and with wich you can communicate and have it do
    things for you and get the results displayed on YOUR terminal.  
    
    We use it at very many customer sites here in Sweden to have all alarm
    rules enabled at one place.  It keeps the alarm-rules enabled even
    though you log out yourself.
    
    At boot-time we call DETmcc to enable all relevant alarm-rules and they
    keep alive until we explecitely disable them.  We also start all
    recording and exporting we need with DETmcc at boot-time.
    
    It's quite handy...
    
    "DIR/TITLE=DETMCC" will give you the note in this conference were it's
    announced.

    P.S. DETmcc is developed in Sweden.......

    NOTED::MCC-TOOLS note 24 describes ANCHOR::NET$LIBRARY:MCC_REACH.BCK
    which is a tool that provides the functionality I needed.  Thanks.
