150 — Setting up alarm handling

150.1 Alarms and queues

The system tracks and reports faults such as hardware failures, software failures,
communication failures, and loss of synchronization. When a fault occurs or is
cleared, the system generates an alarm record and stores it in one of the following
alarm queues, according to the severity of the alarm:
• critical
• major
• minor
• diagnostic

A LED on the Alarm card indicates an outstanding alarm.


An alarm severity indicator also displays in the header line of the CLI screen, and
indicates the highest-priority alarm queue with unacknowledged outstanding alarms,
if any are present on the node. The alarm severity indicator updates as the system
raises and clears alarms.
Table 150-1 lists the maximum number of alarm records that the system stores in
each queue.

Table 150-1 Alarm queue size

Alarm queue Maximum number of alarms


Critical 100

Major 500

Minor 2000
Diagnostic 2000

You can use CPSS or SNMP to log alarms remotely on a network management
system.
Table 150-2 lists the options available for alarm handling.

150.2 Alarm queue overflow handling

The method for alarm queue overflow determines how the system treats new alarms
after the alarm queue reaches its maximum capacity.
When configuring the alarm queue overflow method as fixed, the alarm
Too Many Alarms is added to the end of the queue when the queue reaches
maximum capacity. Each new outstanding alarm overwrites the newest alarm that
the system has cleared.
When you configure the alarm queue overflow method as circular, a new alarm
overwrites the oldest nonoutstanding or cleared alarm in the queue after the queue
reaches maximum capacity.

To configure the alarm queue overflow method


Description Use this command to configure the alarm queue overflow method.

Note — The default is circular.

Syntax alarms config queue {critical | diagn | major | minor}


{circular | fixed} ↵

150.3 Alarm remote logging using CPSS

Alarm remote logging allows the network management system to record alarm
queues using CPSS.
You must establish a CPSS link between the system and the network management
system to log alarms remotely using CPSS; see section 71.3.

To enable or disable alarm logging using CPSS


Description Use this command to enable or disable alarm logging using CPSS.

Note — The default is remote-off.

Syntax alarms logging {critical | diagnostic | major | minor}


{remote-off | remote-on} ↵

150.4 Alarm remote logging using SNMP

Alarm remote logging allows the network management system to record alarm
queues using SNMP.

SNMP traps
The SNMP agent detects major events on the node and generates reports in the form
of traps. See section 20.1 for information about the SNMP agent and traps.
When you enable remote logging for a queue using SNMP, the SNMP agent sends
an enterprise-specific trap when the system logs an alarm in that queue. The SNMP
agent sends the trap only when you have configured at least one trap destination. See
section 20.3 for more information about configuring trap destinations.
Table 150-3 lists the format for all SNMP traps.

Table 150-3 Format for SNMP traps

SNMP alarm traps:
• criticalQAlarm
• majorQAlarm
• minorQAlarm
• diagnosticQAlarm

Note — The default is snmp-off.

Syntax alarms logging {critical | diag | major | minor}

150.5 Remote logging overflow

When you enable remote logging for the queue using CPSS, the system places each
alarm in the alarm logging queue and sends it to the 5620 NM.
When the 5620 NM reports that it has received the alarm successfully, the system
deletes the alarm from the logging queue on the node; otherwise, the alarm remains
in the logging queue until transmission is successful. The system transmits the alarm
until the alarm is successfully logged. The interval between retries is longer every
time an attempt fails.
The logging queue can store up to 2000 alarms.
When you configure the logging queue as fixed, the system does not queue new
alarms for transmission when the queue is full.
When you configure the logging queue as circular, an alarm overwrites the oldest
alarm when the queue reaches maximum capacity.

To configure the remote logging overflow method


Description Use this command to configure the remote logging overflow
method.
Note — The default is circular.

Syntax alarms config log-queue {circular | fixed} ↵

151.1 Viewing alarms

The alarm queue summary for the node management session shows the number of
outstanding alarms in each queue, and the total number of alarms logged in each
queue. The number of outstanding alarms also displays in the header line. Alarms
that the system has not cleared are listed as outstanding.
You can view the alarms in a specific alarm queue. Each numbered alarm on the
screen shows:
• when the alarm was logged
• whether the alarm is acknowledged
• the alarm ID
• the card that triggered the alarm
• a description of the alarm condition

The alarm information does not refresh automatically.


The status of an alarm can be outstanding or cleared. An outstanding alarm indicates
a problem that has not been resolved. A cleared alarm indicates a problem that has
been resolved. For more information about clearing alarms, see section 151.4.
When you view alarms, you can display:
• a summary of the alarms
• the alarms in a specific queue
• all alarms
• outstanding or cleared alarms only

The alarm summary displays and lists the number of alarms in each alarm queue. For
each queue, the display shows the number of outstanding alarms and total alarms; the
total includes cleared alarms and outstanding alarms.
Table 151-1 lists the alarm information that the CLI screen displays.

Table 151-1 Information for alarm queues

Field Description

#### The top number in this column indicates the number of the last alarm placed in the
queue. Use the number under the #### column when you acknowledge or delete
an alarm; the numbers update each time you delete an alarm from the queue.

Date The date that the alarm occurred. If No Date appears in the Date column, the
system has been reset and the date has not yet been configured; see section 19.2.

Time The time that the alarm occurred, in 24-h format. If R appears after the time, the
system has been reset and the time is presented in relative hours since the reset;
see section 19.2.

Ack The status of the alarm. If an alarm has not been acknowledged, its status is U
(unacknowledged). After the alarm is acknowledged, its status changes to A
(acknowledged).

Id Each alarm is assigned a unique ID number when it is raised. The ID does not
change when you delete or acknowledge the alarms.

When you change the priority of an alarm, any new instance of the alarm has that
priority.
You cannot change the priority of an alarm if an instance of that alarm is outstanding.
You cannot configure the priority of an alarm that is critical by default. However,
you can configure the priority of an alarm that has been changed to critical.
When you change the priority of a diagnostic alarm, it is not moved to the

151.4 Clearing alarms

An alarm condition may cause the system to generate two types of alarms: an alarm
to indicate that a fault has occurred, and an alarm to indicate that the alarm has
cleared. The alarm condition is outstanding until the alarm is cleared.
Diagnostic alarms are not categorized as outstanding.
Cleared alarms are included in the Total column on the CLI screen, but they are not
included in the Outstanding column.
You can clear alarms manually to indicate that you have resolved the condition that
raised the alarm. You can clear individual alarms, or all alarms in a specific queue.

To clear alarms
Description Use this command to clear alarms.

Syntax alarms outstanding {all-alarms | critical | major |


minor} ↵
{clear {alarm_value | alarm_value-alarm_value} |
clear-all} ↵

Parameters Table 151-5 lists the parameters required for this command.

151.5 Deleting alarms

All alarms remain in the alarm queue until you delete them. The system updates the
alarm numbers in the queue each time you delete an alarm. The system does not
update the ID numbers to indicate the history of the alarm queue.

151.6 Alarm queue redundancy

The alarm queue synchronization feature guarantees that the content, temporal order,
and time-stamp of all alarms are consistent between the active and inactive
ECC card. Alarm queue redundancy helps you isolate and analyze faults after a
system restart or an activity switch. See section 23.2 for more information about
ECC card redundancy.
