Alarm Introduction
The system supports the following event and alarm notification categories. The numbers in
parentheses indicate the alarm type:

alarmNotification
(
(1):
An Alarm Notification is a persistent indication of a fault.
An alarm is said to be:
Set (or raised) when a fault is first detected and is administratively enabled.
Cleared when a fault is first noticed to have ceased or is administratively disabled.

systemEventNotification (2):
A System Event Notification indicates an event
that is of interest to the operator of the management system, but is not
indicating any failure of the system or part of it. As such, system events only
carry information. They are not assigned with a severity, and are not cleared by
any mechanism.

configurationChangeNotification
(
(3):
A Configuration Change Notification
indicates an event related to a configuration change. In general, configuration
change notifications are issued by the device as a result of any configuration
change performed on any managed object. This can be done by either the element
management system or by any other management entity (for example, the CLI).
The configuration change notification data also includes the nature of the change
(Create/Delete/Modify). In some cases, more than one notification type may be
issued due to a single event. For example, creating a new managed object that is
not yet installed generates a configuration change notification and an alarm
notification.
4.2
Alarm Severities
The Event Severity Value (eventSeverityValue) indicates how the managed object (MO) has
been affected by the alarming event. It represents the severity of the alarm, as perceived by the
MO.
The Object Severity Value (objectSeverityValue) indicates the overall perceived severity level
of the MO at the moment the alarm message was issued.
