Alarm Configuration
3-26 Advanced Alarm Configuration
5. Once you have selected the object you wish to set, you must assign the
appropriate instance value in the Instance field. If you’re not sure how the
object you wish to set is instanced, you can use the MIB Tree utility (described
in the
Tools Guide
) to query it; all available instances for the object will be
displayed.
6. In the Value field, enter the value you wish to set for the selected object.
Again, if you’re not sure what the valid values are for the variable you wish to
set, locate the object in the MIBTree utility and use the Details button to
obtain more information.
7. Once you’ve configured your action, click on the Add button; the action will be
added to the Action Table list in the lower left corner of the window. Note that
the window remains open so that you may configure additional new actions or
modify existing ones; selecting on any action in the Action Table will display
that action’s parameters in the window and make them available for editing.
When you have finished configuring your actions, click on the Cancel button
to close the window.
Note that the Action Table will update automatically each time an action is added
or deleted; use the Refresh button to update the table at any time.
Deleting an Alarm, Event, or Action
To delete an alarm, event, or action:
1. In the appropriate window, highlight the alarm, event, or action you wish to
remove.
2. Click on the Delete button to remove. A window will appear asking you to
confirm your selection; click on the OK button to delete, or on the Cancel
button to cancel.
When you delete an event, be sure you edit all alarms that were pointing to that
event, and assign a new valid event to those thresholds; note, too, that deleting an
event automatically deletes its associated actions, as actions cannot exist in the
absence of an association with an event.
Again, as a general rule, we recommend that you do not delete an alarm or event
of which you are not the owner.
TIP
If you select an invalid OID Ñ that is, one which does not permit write access Ñ the
message !!CanÕt set action on this type!! will be displayed in the Variable Þeld.
If you donÕt know the exact spelling of the OID you wish to use for your alarm variable,
and you canÕt Þnd it by searching through the tree, use the MIB Tool Find feature to locate
the OID and determine its exact spelling (and tree location). For more information on the
MIB Tool utility and its Find capabilities, see the MIB Tools chapter in the SPECTRUM
Element Manager Tools Guide. Note that this Find feature is no longer case-sensitive.
