Issue/Introduction

We require an alarm on the attribute cefcModuleOperStatus, and if this attribute is not ok, we would like a Major (2) alarm to be created.  We would like to clear that alarm on the device returns back to Ok status.

How can this be achieved in Spectrum?

Environment

Spectrum : Any

Cause

No alarm setup for cefcModuleOperStatus out of the box.

Resolution

We can create a custom event by editing the $SPECROOT/custom/Events/EventDisp file and add the following

 

0x002104b1 E 20 R { 3 } CA.EventCondition, "({v 1} != {I 2})" , "0xfff00464 -:-" R { 3 } CA.EventCondition, "({v 1} == {I 2})" , "0xfff00463 -:-"

0xfff00463 E 50 C 0xfff00464
0xfff00464 E 50 A 2,0xfff00464

 

When the trap is received and varbind 1 does not equal 2, then we will create a Major alarm. 0xfff00464

When the trap is received and varbind 1 equals 2, then we will clear the alarm.   0xfff00463 

 

This is based upon the mib values.
