Chapter 9 Managing Faults
Where Is the Fault?
9.5.5 Viewing Fault Management Data for a Set of NEs
To view fault management data for an NE:
Step 1 In the Domain Explorer Hierarchy pane, select the management domain, group, or NE node for which
to view the data.
Step 2 Open an Alarm Browser, choose Fault > Alarm Browser.
Note A preliminary filter is always applied based on the object selected in the tree view or map.
Step 3 In the table, click the Filter Data tool (or choose File > Filter). The Filter dialog box appears.
Step 4 Most fault management tables (for example, the Alarm Browser and Alarm Log tables) have a filter tool
for filtering data for a set of NEs. In the Filter dialog box, select the NEs that will be included in the
filter. Specify other filter parameters, as needed. See 9.7.2 Filtering the Alarm Log.
Step 5 Click OK to show the results in a table.
Table 9-10 Non-NE-Specific Alarms
Non-NE-Specific Alarms Description
Maximum number of login attempts
exceeded
By default, users have a maximum of five login attempts. The user account is locked
after the fifth unsuccessful login attempt and an EMS alarm is generated in the Alarm
Browser. The alarm is cleared once the user account is unlocked or the account is
deleted.
System self-monitor alarm Threshold parameters such as CPU usage, memory usage, disk usage, circuit creation
time, PM collection time, and resynch time are collected and evaluated to monitor the
server performance.
An alarm is generated if any of these parameters cross their threshold values with their
corresponding severity level. The alarms are cleared only after the corresponding
parameter value falls below the minor threshold. Subsequent threshold crossings for
the same parameter will not generate further alarms. Only the severity level is changed
to indicate the current severity level for the specific parameter.
Note Alarms associated with circuit creation, configuration resynchronization, NE
synchronization, and PM collection indicate that the load on the system is high.
Reduce the load on the system before proceeding.
Alarms associated with pruning times also indicate that the load on the system
is high. Reschedule pruning at a time when the system has less activity.
