308.0. "Hubwatch & Alarms?" by WARHED::NAEEM () Tue Jul 20 1993 12:34

    
    
    		Can someone explain ALARMS in Hubwatch(windows)?
    I thougt if I was in NETWORK view and any problem at HUB level will
    be notified by Traffic light going RED.But this is not happening.
    as soon as I go to HUB level Alarms comes on.If system OR hub disappear
    then I see the Alarm at NETWORK level.The Agent is @V1.1??Should it
    send the TRAP to Hubwatch??Does I need to setup something to see Alarm
    at Network level?What I need to do to see Red light,if BRIDGE port goes
    down,at Network level.

308.1No hub alarms at network view for HUBwatch for Windows V1.0NAC::FORRESTWed Jul 21 1993 22:1411
	This is to some extent an intentional bug. We will try to get 
	it fixed in V1.1.

	The problem is that unless you are at the hub view, HUBwatch only 
	polls for some DECagent info. So if the DECagent is reachable, then 
	at the network view, everything will appear to be OK. This was 
	intentional in order to keep the number of polled variables to a 
	manageable number. We didn't want to poll for a large number of 
	module objects at the network view; this could result in a flood 
	of polling packets when you have a large number of hubs.
308.2This is not Net Management!VAXRIO::CARIJOFernando Carijo' - SME, RioMon Aug 16 1993 23:034
    I read .1 with great surprise! If I understand it well, version 1.0 is
    useless, because you can have a big crash in your network and the
    "green light" will remain on! I hope I'm wrong, or I've been lying to
    my prospects all these months...
