Usage Guidelines The Node Health Manager in the WAAS software enables WAAS applications to raise alarms to draw

attention in error/significant conditions. The Node Health Manager, which is the data repository for such

alarms, aggregates the health and alarm information for the applications, services, and resources (for

example, disk drives) that are being monitored on the WAAS device. For example, this feature gives you

a mechanism to determine if a WAE is receiving overwhelming number of alarms. These alarms are

referred to as “WAAS software alarms.”

WAAS software uses SNMP to report error conditions by generating SNMP traps. The following WAAS

applications can generate a WAAS software alarm:

• Node Health Manager (Alarm overload condition)

• System Monitor (sysmon) for disk failures
