(config) alarm overload-detect

To detect alarm overload situations, use the alarm overload-detect global configuration command.

alarm overload-detect {clear 1-999 [raise 10-1000] | enable | raise 10-1000 [clear 1-999]}

Syntax Description

Defaults clear: 1 alarm per second

raise: 10 alarms per second

Command Modes global configuration

Device Modes application-accelerator

central-manager

Usage Guidelines When multiple applications running on a WAAS device experience problems at the same time, numerous

alarms are set off simultaneously, and the WAAS device may stop responding. You can use the alarm

overload-detect global configuration command to set an overload limit for the incoming alarms from

the node health manager. If the number of alarms exceeds the maximum number of alarms allowed, the

WAAS device enters an alarm overload state until the number of alarms drops down to the number

defined in the clear option.

clear Specifies the threshold at which the alarm overload state on the WAAS

device is cleared. When the alarm drops below this threshold, the alarm is

cleared and the SNMP traps and alarm notifications are again sent to your

NMS.

Note The alarm overload-detect clear value must be less than the alarm

overload-detect raise value.

1-999 Number of alarms per second that ends an alarm overload condition.

raise (Optional) Specifies the threshold at which the WAAS device enters an alarm

overload state and SNMP traps and alarm notifications to your network

management station (NMS) are suspended.

enable Enables the detection of alarm overload situations.

10-1000 Number of alarms per second that triggers an alarm overload.
