I have a customer that wants to monitor his ring so if one of the
concentrators goes duff he can either see it auomatically on a
vdu or maybe be mailed about it. I know you can look at the
LED's on the concentrator but over a period, people will forget
to check. Because in theory the ring should loop around the
duff device and users, other than the onesf hanging off the duff
concentrator won't realise theres a problem, config:-
__________ __________ __________ TO CONC1
-------I I--------I I--------I I------->
I CONC1 I I CONC2 I I CONC3 I
-------I I--------I I--------I I------->
---------- ---------- ---------- TO CONC1
is there any software he could buy, he has DECELMS, is this
any good for the job.
Thanks in advance.

ELMS will display everything you can see from the LEDs, plus a lot more. The information you're looking for is definitely available. paul | |||||

Specifically, the POLLER function in DECelms can detect many ring
events, including the wrapping of a DEFCN port.

Cornell,
FWIW, here's a command file I wrote many moons ago for exactly the
function you're looking for. Modify as needed for your customer.
Specifically, it formats the ELMS event logger (produced by the poller)
every 2 minutes, and searches for particular events, in this case ANY
alarm from either the concentrator "nsu_con" or the bridge "nsu_lb",
and sends E-mail when an event occurs.
See the Appendix in the ELMS manual for specific events you might want
to search on, i.e., Concentrator unreachable or port operational state
change.
$ set noon
$ elms start poller
$ TIME = f$time()
$ time_stamp = F$EXTRACT(0,17,TIME)
$START:
$ elms format since 'time_stamp' to event.log
$ TIME = f$time()
$ time_stamp = F$EXTRACT(0,17,TIME)
$ FILE = F$SEARCH("SYS$LOGIN:EVENT.LOG")
$ IF FILE .EQS. "" THEN GOTO WAIT
$ sea event.log nsu_con /out=conalarm.txt /wind=10
$ if $STATUS .eqs. "%X00000001" then GOSUB CONALARM
$ sea event.log nsu_lb /out=lanalarm.txt /wind=10
$ if $STATUS .eqs. "%X00000001" then GOTO LANALARM
$ goto WAIT
$ CONALARM:
$ MAIL/SUBJ="ELMS CON ALARM" conalarm.txt bss::c_ouimette
$ RETURN %X1
$ LANALARM:
$ MAIL/SUBJ="ELMS LAN ALARM" lanalarm.txt bss::c_ouimette
$WAIT:
$ pu/keep=1 event.log
$ ren event.log event.sav
$ wait 00:02:00
$ goto START
$exit
