4522.0. "T1.3.1 : Pb with ALARM & NOTIFY FM with IP poller" by ZTOIS1::VISTA (Renato VISTA, SIS Strasbourg, France) Wed Feb 10 1993 10:25

    Hi,
    
    I'm testing DECmcc/T1.3.1 on VMS platform and IP poller.
    
    For a given domain with snmp (chipcom) entity, I've defined three
    requests :
    
    MCC>notify domain <domain>			FOR ALARM rules messages
    
    MCC>notify domain <domain> entity list =(snmp *), -
    		event=(Ip Reachability UP)
    
    MCC>notify domain <domain> entity list =(snmp *), -
    		event=(Ip Reachability DOWN)
    
    When I disconnect physically the chipcom hub, after polling/timeout
    period, I get TWO (??) following messages :
    
    !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alarm, 10-FEB-1993 15:57:49 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! [1]
    Domain: LOCAL_NS:.demo_openlink                       Severity:Critical
    Notification Entity: SNMP LOCAL_NS:.snmp.etoile1
    Event Source: SNMP LOCAL_NS:.snmp.etoile1
    Event: IP Reachability Down
    Entity is no longer reachable :
    
    
    !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alarm, 10-FEB-1993 15:57:49 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! [9]
    Domain: LOCAL_NS:.demo_openlink                       Severity:Critical
    Notification Entity: SNMP LOCAL_NS:.snmp.etoile1
    Event Source: SNMP LOCAL_NS:.snmp.etoile1
    Event: IP Reachability Down
    Entity is no longer reachable :
                                                                                   
    
    When re-connecting...
    
    !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alarm, 10-FEB-1993 15:59:19 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! [1]
    Domain: LOCAL_NS:.demo_openlink                       Severity: Clear
    Notification Entity: SNMP LOCAL_NS:.snmp.etoile1
    Event Source: SNMP LOCAL_NS:.snmp.etoile1
    Event: IP Reachability Up
    Entity is now reachable :
    
    
    !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alarm, 10-FEB-1993 15:59:19 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! [8]
    Domain: LOCAL_NS:.demo_openlink                       Severity: Clear
    Notification Entity: SNMP LOCAL_NS:.snmp.etoile1
    Event Source: SNMP LOCAL_NS:.snmp.etoile1
    Event: IP Reachability Up
    Entity is now reachable :
    
    
    I'm surprised about two things :
    
    	1) the number of messages
    	2) the nature of messges (ALARM messages instead of EVENT messages)
    
    After disabling NOTIFY DOMAIN <domain> request, I've got the messages :
    
    !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alarm, 10-FEB-1993 15:57:49 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! [1]
    Domain: LOCAL_NS:.demo_openlink                       Severity:Critical
    Notification Entity: SNMP LOCAL_NS:.snmp.etoile1
    Event Source: SNMP LOCAL_NS:.snmp.etoile1
    Event: IP Reachability Down
    Entity is no longer reachable :
    
    !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alarm, 10-FEB-1993 15:59:19 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! [8]
    Domain: LOCAL_NS:.demo_openlink                       Severity: Clear
    Notification Entity: SNMP LOCAL_NS:.snmp.etoile1
    Event Source: SNMP LOCAL_NS:.snmp.etoile1
    Event: IP Reachability Up
    Entity is now reachable :
    
    	
    This time, only one message per event (DOWN, then UP) has been
    displayed, BUT the nature of message is always an ALARM message
    (instead of an expecting EVENT message...).
    
    Finally, after enabling...
    		NOTIFY DOMAIN <domain>
    ...and disabling...
   		notify domain <domain> entity list =(snmp *), -
    		event=(Ip Reachability UP)
    
    		notify domain <domain> entity list =(snmp *), -
    		event=(Ip Reachability DOWN)
    		
    ... the following messages are received yet...
    
    !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alarm, 10-FEB-1993 15:57:49 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! [1]
    Domain: LOCAL_NS:.demo_openlink                       Severity:Critical
    Notification Entity: SNMP LOCAL_NS:.snmp.etoile1
    Event Source: SNMP LOCAL_NS:.snmp.etoile1
    Event: IP Reachability Down
    Entity is no longer reachable :
    
    !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alarm, 10-FEB-1993 15:59:19 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! [8]
    Domain: LOCAL_NS:.demo_openlink                       Severity: Clear
    Notification Entity: SNMP LOCAL_NS:.snmp.etoile1
    Event Source: SNMP LOCAL_NS:.snmp.etoile1
    Event: IP Reachability Up
    Entity is now reachable :
    
    
    My questions are :
    
    1) Is this a desired change from the T1.3.0 ?
    2) Is there any double functionality allowing receiving those kinds of
    messages (either from simple request such as NOTIFY DOMAIN <domain>, or
    by using an event-oriented request) ?
    
    Thank you for your replies.
    Renato

	Renato, In T1.3.1 the ip reachability events have been moved to the Notification events partition. So you need not write alarms against them as they will be automatically delivered to you through notification fm. If you do write alarm rules against them, you will see two notifications for each event. Rahul.
