2104.0. "Notification Bugs (T1.2.4)" by ZUR01::FUEGLISTER (Roland Fueglister, 760-2498) Tue Jan 14 1992 11:28

I have the following equipment running:

DECstation 5000/200 (24Mb,rz57) 
DECmcc T1.2.4 (local MIR)

I have done some testing with TCP/IP SNMP traps and notification of these
traps.


Enabling receiving all traps:

mcc> getevent snmp * and typing a "?" gives me a list of valid event IDs.

I choose Any Events but this results in the following error message: 

mcc> getevent snmp * any events -->> %MCC-W-NOMULTPARTEVENT,
			event IDs from mutiple partitions are not supported

The following command works:
mcc> getevent snmp *
coldstart,warmstart,linkdown,linkup,authenticationfailure,egpneighborloss,
enterprisespecific



showing event sink attributes:

The DECmcc TCP/IP SNMP Access Module Manual T1.2 on page 5-6 and 5-7 gives me
the wrong command syntax ("event_sink" does not exist).

The following command is correct:

mcc> show mcc 0 tcpip_am sink all "partitionname"



Receiving Notifications:

The DECmcc Alarms and Notification Service Use Manual tells me on page 2-4 that
a configuration event contains an up-arrow icon in the notification window.

I get always a bell icon, no matter if it is a SNMP trap or a fired alarm!

The DECmcc Alarms and Notification Service Use Manual tells me on page 3-4 the
following:

/configuration events require that you create a notify request before you can
/be notified that they have occured. Notification of configuration events 
/occurs in the Notification window only and, optionally, in the Map widow if you
/requested it.

I get an notification of all received traps in the notification window as well
as in the iconic map, although I have never created a notify request.

If I create also a rule with the expression:
	(occurs(snmp * coldstart))
I get two notifications for each trap received and that is not funny.


How can I stop the notification of configuration events which are automatically
enabled ?

How can I get a notification of configuration events optionally in the map ?


Any comments are appreciated

    Last I heard was that SNMP did go to field test with all of their
    events under the notification partition. The Bell icon means that it is
    a notification, not that it is from the alarms module. The arrow icon
    means that it is from the configuration partition.
    
    It is my understanding that the SNMP events will be moved to the
    configruation partition before the product ships.
    
    As to the notification automatically working, modify your defaults if
    you do not want notification automatically started when you open a new
    map. To see what notify directives are currently active use the
    Requests button in the notification window to display the notify
    requests outstanding.
    
    Note also that ONLY notification events are automatically collected.
    The SNMP use of the notification partition is being handled.
