5604.0. "several IP POLLER notifications" by MARS03::THOMAS () Mon Sep 20 1993 14:00

	I want to use the IP POLLER on DECMCC EMS V2.3.

	I use several hierarchical domains.

	I enabled IP poller in each domain where i have IP stations to poll. 

	Each time, i received several notification messages if an IP station was
no longer reachable or vice-versa. 

	Then, i created a new domain, where i put all the IP stations that i
have to monitor. But, i still receive several notification messages for each IP 
reachability event.

	Where is the mistake (in my set-up or ...) ?

	Regards,


	Bernard

	Did you try enabling polling only from the top-most domain? The
	IP Poller polls entities in subdomains automatically.

    	In the first test (I enabled IP POLLER in each domain...), i
    enabled the IP POLLER in several domains belonging to a same hierarchy.
    
    	The second test (Then i created ...), in fact was done in an
    existing domain in my hierarchy (not a new one as i said before). In this
    existing domain, i enabled the IP poller and i got several
    notifications for each IP reachability event.

	I will try to reproduce the behaviour on my system. I am busy
	with some other things at the moment, so I hope you will bear
	with me.

5604.5Seeing the same problem...Any solution?SALUD::ORTIZWed Jun 01 1994 17:518
    I have a site with the same problem with the IP Poller sending multiple
    notifications for the each ip node in the domain...
    
    Was there a solution to this problem or not??
    
    Any help would be appreciated...

	It's been quite a while, so I don't remember how the problem was
	resolved. But one possible reason that comes to my mind for multiple
	notifications is that the user might have alarms enabled for 
	reachability events. Since reachability events are notification events,
	they automatically show up as notifications. Having alarms on the
	same events would cause multiple notifications to show up.

	Let me know if this is the case. You may also try sending mail to
	Bernard (MARS03::THOMAS) and ask him how this problem was resolved
	(if at all).

	Rahul.
5604.7No Alarms for IP REACHABILITYSALUD::ORTIZThu Jun 02 1994 12:019
    The customer is not using any alarms on IP REACHABILITY. I was able
    to talk to Bernard Thomas and he stated that the problem has NOT been
    fixed. He was able to minimize the amount of notifications to 3 by 
    having the ip node only in the top domain. 
    
    It looks to me like this is a bug. I am wanting a better workaround
    , if possible...
