5478.0. "Collector, diff severity between alarm and notify request" by MLNCSC::BARILARO () Fri Aug 13 1993 08:54

    Hi,
    
    	I've a little problem on Collectors,  creating alarm rules 
    	(without specifing severity...) I've always back indeterminate
    	notifications, but if I look the complete alarm messages I see
    	that the alarm receive the Perceived Severity = Critical.
    
    	If I use instead the Notify Request all works correctly.
    
    	So I'd like to know if this is a limitation of Collector, or
    	I'm doing something wrong.
    
    					Thanks in advance,
    					Ciao 	Luciano Barilaro
    
    This is the alarm rule:
    
    CREATE DOMAIN pisa RULE coll_test -
    EXPRESSION        =  (occurs(collector *  any events))
    
    The Notification is:
    !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alarm, 13-AUG-1993 13:52:27 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! [1]
    Domain: NETMON_NS:.PISA                               Severity:
    Indeterminate <------- wrong severity
    Notification Entity: Collector NETMON_NS:.x25_ixi
    Event Source: Domain NETMON_NS:.PISA Rule coll_test
    Event: OSI Rule Fired

5478.1ALARMS FM detection & NOTIFICATION FM requestZTOIS1::VISTARenato VISTA, MCS/SPS France/StrasbourgFri Aug 13 1993 10:1433
    
    Luciano,
    
    To allow DECmcc PM receiving message from ALARM FM (ie when a rule is
    FIRED), you have hit the following command/sequence :
    
    1) VIA Iconic_MAP :
    
    	EITHER	you set the file menu option "NOTIFY DOMAIN..." to ENABLE 
    		value (you can also define a default value via the Options
    		option "MAP..." that maybe save in home directory as
    		mcc_resource.dat file)
    
    	OR 	you create a request manually on DOMAIN currently opened, 
    		WITHOUT specifying an overridden severity (this creation is
    		similar to previous automatic one).
    
    In these cases, the severity is given by the rule itself.
    
    
    2) VIA FCL :
    
    The command is the following...
    
    MCC>NOTIFY DOMAIN <domain_whose_rule_messages_are_wished_to_be_notified>
    
    In this case, the severity is also given by the rule itself.
    
    
    
    I hope this will help you.
