Alarm Settings elements

Table 1 describes the elements on the Policy and Charging > Configuration > Alarm Settings page. The elements can be configured and viewed on the NOAM, and only viewed on the SOAM. Data Input Notes apply to the Insert and Edit pages; the View page is read-only.

The page contains three sets of input fields for the following alarms:
  • DSR Application Ingress Message Rate
  • SBR Sessions Threshold Exceeded
  • SBR Bindings Threshold Exceeded

The element labels are the same for each input field set, but some serve different purposes and have different values. These distinctions are noted in the table.

Alarm Settings elements
Elements (* indicates required field) Description Data Input Notes
DSR Application Ingress Message Rate
* Alarm Name

This alarm is raised when average Policy and Charging ingress messages rate exceeds the configured threshold. The thresholds are based on the engineered system value for Ingress Message Capacity.

Format: Non-editable text box

Range: DSR Application Ingress Message Rate

* Critical Alarm Threshold (Percent) The Policy and Charging ingress message rate threshold for this alarm to be raised as Critical. The threshold is a percentage of the Ingress Capacity Capability. Format: Text box

Range: 100-200

Default: 160

Suppress Critical Controls whether this alarm is raised as Critical. Format: Check box

Range: Unchecked (No) or Checked (Yes)

Default: Unchecked (No)

* Major Alarm Threshold (Percent) The Policy and Charging ingress message rate threshold for this alarm to be raised as Major. The threshold is a percentage of the Ingress Capacity Capability. Format: Text box

Range: 100-200

Default: 140

Suppress Major Controls whether this alarm is raised as Major. Format: Check box

Range: Unchecked (No) or Checked (Yes)

Default: Unchecked (No)

* Minor Alarm Threshold (Percent) The Policy and Charging ingress message rate threshold for this alarm to be raised as Minor. The threshold is a percentage of the Ingress Capacity Capability. Format: Text box

Range: 100-200

Default: 110

Suppress Minor Controls whether this alarm is raised as Minor. Format: Check box

Range: Unchecked (No) or Checked (Yes)

Default: Unchecked (No)

SBR Sessions Threshold Exceeded
* Alarm Name

This alarm is raised when the number of concurrent Policy and Online Charging SBR sessions exceeds the configured threshold.

Format: Non-editable text box

Range: 1-99

Default: 95

Suppress Critical Controls whether this alarm is raised as Critical. Format: Check box

Range: Unchecked (No) or Checked (Yes)

Default: Unchecked (No)

* Major Alarm Threshold (Percent) The concurrent sessions threshold for this alarm to be raised as Major. The threshold is a percentage of the Maximum SBR Sessions. Format: Text box

Range: 1-99

Default: 90

Suppress Major Controls whether this alarm is raised as Major. Format: Check box

Range: Unchecked (No) or Checked (Yes)

Default: Unchecked (No)

* Minor Alarm Threshold (Percent) The concurrent sessions threshold for this alarm to be raised as Minor. The threshold is a percentage of the Maximum SBR Sessions. Format: Text box

Range: 1-99

Default: 80

Suppress Minor Controls whether this alarm is raised as Minor. Format: Check box

Range: Unchecked (No) or Checked (Yes)

Default: Unchecked (No)

SBR Bindings Threshold Exceeded
* Alarm Name

This alarm is raised when the number of concurrent Policy SBR bindings exceeds the configured threshold.
