Smarts ASAM: What do WARNING .[SmTiEventProcessor] Missing logic to handle:AttributeValueChangeEvent events mean?

Products

• VMware Smart Assurance

Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:


The Alcatel SAM adapter log file shows the following warnings:

ASAM_MESSAGE-*
WARNING .[SmTiEventProcessor] Missing logic to handle:AttributeValueChangeEvent sw.AccountingStatsRetrievalManager network:10.92.68.0:accountingStatsRetrievalManager 
ASAM_MESSAGE-*
WARNING .[SmTiEventProcessor] Missing logic to handle:AttributeValueChangeEvent file.Policy network:10.92
.68.161:File:22

Environment

VMware Smart Assurance - SMARTS

Cause

From the code logic we see that when an AttributeValueChangeEvent happens we map the class and the attribute that got changed at the alcatel EMS and then map the same to SMARTS alcatel adapter and populate the changed value and henceforth compute the event accordingly.

Resolution

From the log inspection, we see that there are two such attribute undergoing changes : 
AccountingStatsRetrievalManager 
file.Policy

These 2 attributes do not seem to map to any of the mapped attributes in SMARTS alcatel adapter and hence these warning messages.

There is no harm in these warning message as these attributes makes no significance to the SMARTS adapter functionality, but just for information purpose we log them and hence can be ignored.
