Chapter 6 Fault and Performance Management
Launching the Event Browser
Two indicators, color coded to the severity of the event, are available to the left of the object name:
• Clear (an indicator to show if an event is active or cleared)
• Ack (an indicator to show if an event is acknowledged or unacknowledged).
Click the Ack button to indicate to other users that the fault is being worked on. The button changes to
the color of the severity. If for any reason you cannot clear the problem, this button can be deselected so
the event can be reassigned. The Clear button is highlighted when the fault has been rectified to indicate
that the event requires no further attention.
Launching the Event Browser
You launch the Event Browser application using an icon on the Cisco EMF Launchpad.
This icon opens the Query Editor window, from which you can specify the type of
events to view.
Alternatively, you can right click on one or more objects in the Map Viewer and then select the Event
Browser. The Event Browser displays only the events associated with the selected objects.
Viewing Cisco MGM Logs
You can check the log files for significant Cisco MGM and Cisco EMF events. The following table
summarizes the important logs:
Registering Cisco MGX 8260 Traps
Cisco MGX 8260 Media Gateway nodes notify Cisco MGM of alarms and events using trap messages.
Before Cisco EMF can display alarms, you must register traps at each MGX 8260 node.
When working with traps, you configure the following parameters:
• Manager address—The IP address of the Cisco MGM manager to receive traps
• Community string—The SNMP community strings for read and read-write access
• Trap registrations—The specific conditions to report and their severity
