6100.0. "Ho to alarm thresholds" by EDUOZ::BOERS (Jack - singed by the candlestick!) Mon Aug 29 1994 03:51

    I have another issue that I would like help with.
    
    I am monitoring a number of SNMP managed DECbridge 90s, which
    accumulate errors on their ethernet devices, as well as a couple of OSI
    managed DECnis', which also clock up ethernet errors.  The customer has
    decided that they can live with a certain number of these errors, but
    have specified a threshold.  Can someone please suggest an expression
    for an alarm that is capable of firing if the threshold is exceeded,
    but not otherwise.
    
    
    Kind Regards
    Jack

6100.1Using OCCURS rulesTAEC::BRONOELMon Aug 29 1994 05:1917
One rule format allows MCC users to build rule which fire
when a given number of events has been received. The
threshold is an argument of that rule creation. Here is
a sample example :

CREATE DOMAIN foo RULE bar OCCURS_N_TIME_FORMAT_5 = ( -
		ENTITY = (NODE *), -
		EVENT NAME = "Rebooted", -
		COUNT = 10),
	AUTO ENABLE = no

The above rule will fire after 10 events ("Rebooted") received.

Regards.

Jean-Marc Bronoel.
6100.2Try the PAWELLIN::MCCALLUMWed Aug 31 1994 07:4813
    
    You can put alarm rules on the statistics values offered
    from the performance analyser, so if you have that
    you can do quite a lot. To quickly see whats available you can try to
    graph the statistics and it will show you what statistics can be
    calculated - or try the PA manual.
    
    If thats no good - there is not a simple answer except writing some dcl
    to do it for you, you could do this with the script AM though which
    would make it nicely integrated but is more work.
