Configuring Notification and Tracking
The Notification and Tracking pages provide settings for alarms, thresholds, SNMP connectivity, and
device monitoring. Configuring notification and tracking consists of the following procedures:
• Enabling Alarm Overload Detection
• Setting Service Monitor Thresholds
• Configuring SNMP
• Enabling System Logs
Enabling Alarm Overload Detection
The SE tracks the rate of incoming alarms from the Node Health Manager. If the rate of incoming alarms
exceeds the high-water mark (HWM) threshold, the SE enters an alarm overload state. This condition
occurs when multiple applications raise alarms at the same time. When an SE is in an alarm overload
state, the following events occur:
• The traps for the raise alarm-overload alarm and clear alarm-overload alarm are sent. SNMP traps
for subsequent alarm raise-and-clear operations are suspended.
• Traps for alarm operations that occur between the raise-alarm-overload alarm and the
clear-alarm-overload alarm operations are suspended, but individual device alarm information is
still collected and available using the CLI.
• The SE remains in an alarm overload state until the rate of incoming alarms decreases to less than
the low-water mark (LWM).
• If the incoming alarm rate falls below the LWM, the SE comes out of the alarm overload state and
begins to report the alarm counts to the SNMP servers and the CDSM.
Alarms that have been raised on an SE can be listed by using the CLI commands shown in Table 4-37.
These CLI commands allow you to systematically drill down to the source of an alarm.
