4851.0. "Alarm rule syntax help needed" by CSC32::W_MCGAW () Thu Apr 08 1993 16:45

    Hi,
    
    Does anyone know if there is a published sheet on the correct syntax of
    various alarm rule expressions?  A customer recently brough to my
    attention that the Alarms and Notification Services Use manual (pages
    A-10 thru A11) show Change_of bridge rules both with and without a
    comma before the variables being checked.  He wanted to know which
    format was correct and asked for information (on paper and easy to
    find) on correct rule expression format.  This would also include the
    optional qualifiers like AT START, UNTIL etc. and the optional formats
    for specifying these qualifiers.
    
    Any information would be appreciated!
    
    Walt

4851.1	there should be a comma	MOLAR::ROBERTS	Keith Roberts - Network Management Applications	`Fri Apr 09 1993 10:28`	21
	RE .0 Walt, >> ... show Change_of bridge rules both with and without a comma before >> the variables being checked. The Change_of function should have commas between the arguments: (change_of( bridge foo powerup resets, , ), at every 00:05:00) (the spaces are optional, I just added them for clarity). >> Does anyone know if there is a published sheet on the correct syntax of >> various alarm rule expressions? ... his would also include the >> optional qualifiers like AT START, UNTIL etc. and the optional formats >> for specifying these qualifiers. Good suggestion! Can you file a QAR on the Alarms manual? /keith
4851.2	Check Performance Analysis FM Documentation	CUJO::HILL	Dan Hill-Net.Mgt.-Customer Resident	`Tue Apr 13 1993 02:26`	7
	The best explanation of AT START, FOR START, AT EVERY 00:00 UNTIL 00:00, ... is in the PA_FM Use documentation. This definitely is something that requires additional work to make it more intuitive. -Dan
4851.3	I will look into how to do a QAR.	CX3PT1::SHOTO::W_MCGAW		`Wed Apr 14 1993 13:54`	10
	Hi, Thanks for the information pointer to the PA_FM Use manual, but the the customers point on this was you shouldn't have to spend that much time digging through the whole doc set to find pieces of the syntax. I will check note 7 for information on QAR's. Thanks, Walt
4851.4	It's consistent now -- consistently wrong	TNPUBS::JONG	The Nostalgia Tour	`Mon Jun 07 1993 12:29`	5
	I'm looking at pages A-10 and A-11 of Revision E of the Alarms document (for POLYCENTER Frameworks Version 1.3), and it does treat the comma consistently. It consistently leaves it out 8^( I'll pass this on to the documentation lead writer.
