Intel Telco Alarms Manager 2.0, Revision 1.0 - HP Carrier-Grade Server cc3310 User's Guide

SNMP Event Agent
The SNMP Event Agent is installed with TAM. It is delivered as a component of TAMTools. The SNMP
Event Agent listens for configured SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) traps. Any exceeded
thresholds or alerts that it receives are mapped and forwarded to TAM which illuminates corresponding
status LEDs on the alarm panel.
NOTE TAMTools must be running for this feature to be active. You can run TAMTools in the
background by starting it in the shell with a "tamtools –t" command. TAMTools is an example
of how the TAM API can be used to operate the Telco alarms.
System Event Agent
The System Event Agent is installed with TAM. It is delivered as a component of TAMTools. The System
Event Agent polls and monitors configured system events. Linux leverages the proc file system and makes
system information available for configuration as subsystems, resources, and statistics. Any exceeded
thresholds or alerts that the System Event Agent receives are mapped and forwarded to TAM, which
illuminates corresponding status LEDs on the alarm panel.
NOTE TAMTools must be running for this feature to be active. You can run TAMTools in the
background by starting it in the shell with a "tamtools –t" command. TAMTools is an example
of how the TAM API can be used to operate the Telco alarms.
On-Screen Display (OSD) Event Agent
The OSD (On-Screen Display) Event Agent is installed with TAM. It is delivered as a component of
TAMTools. The OSD Event Agent is useful as a diagnostic or development tool. It can return the panel’s
state, send user-generated alarms to the alarm panel, and return event records stored in the alarms
database, such as the GeneratorID, GeneratorInfo, AlarmID, and Severity.
Configuration
TAM Model
