22328 - Connection is processing a higher than normal
ingress messaging rate
- Alarm Group:
- DIAM
- Description:
- The diameter connection specified in the alarm
instance is processing a higher than normal ingress messaging rate.
- Severity:
-
- Minor (if all of the following are true):
- The average ingress MPS rate the connection
is processing has reached the percentage of the connection's maximum ingress
MPS rate configured for the connection minor alarm threshold.
- The average ingress MPS rate the connection
is processing has not yet reached the percentage of the connection's maximum
ingress MPS rate configured for the connection major alarm threshold.
- Major (if the following are true):
- The average ingress MPS rate the connection
is processing has reached the percentage of the connection's maximum ingress
MPS rate configured for the connection major alarm threshold.
- Instance:
- The name of the diameter connection as defined by
the TransportConnection table
- HA Score:
- Normal
- Auto Clear Seconds:
- 0 (zero)
- OID:
- eagleXgDiameterIngressMpsRateNotify
- Cause:
- Alarm # 22328 raises the severity,
- Minor (if all of the following are true):
- The average ingress
MPS rate that the connection is processing has reached the percentage of the
connection's maximum ingress MPS rate configured for the connection minor alarm
threshold.
- The average ingress
MPS rate that the connection is processing has not yet reached the percentage
of the connection's maximum ingress MPS rate configured for the connection
major alarm threshold.
- Major (if all of the following are true):
- The average ingress
MPS rate that the connection is processing has reached the percentage of the
connection's maximum ingress MPS rate configured for the connection major alarm
threshold.
- Diagnostic Information:
- To get further information regarding this issue:
- Examine the alarm
log from
Main Menu > Alarms & Events on
Active SOAM Server.

- Get the Connection
ID
IcRate[Connection_Id] from Alarm Details and the
corresponding Connection Name from
TransportConnectionTable on active SOAM server.
- Investigate the
connection's remote Diameter peer (the source of the ingress messaging) to
determine why they are sending the abnormally high traffic rate.
Recovery:
-
The Diameter connection specified in the Alarm
Instance field is processing a higher than expected average ingress Diameter
message rate. The alarm thresholds for minor and major alarms are configured in
the Capacity Configuration Set used by the Diameter connection.
-
The message rate used for this alarm is an
exponentially smoothed 30 second average. This smoothing limits false alarms
due to short duration spikes in the ingress message rate.
-
If the alarm severity is minor, the alarm means the
average ingress message rate has exceeded the minor alarm threshold percentage
of the maximum ingress MPS configured for the connection.
-
If the alarm severity is major, the alarm means the
average ingress message rate has exceeded the major alarm threshold percentage
of the maximum ingress MPS configured for the connection.
-
This alarm is cleared when the average ingress
message rate falls 5% below the minor alarm threshold, or the connection
becomes disabled or disconnected. This alarm is downgraded from major to minor
if the average ingress message rate falls 5% below the major alarm threshold.
-
If the average ingress message rate is determined to
be unusually high, investigate the connection's remote Diameter peer (the
source of the ingress messaging) to determine why they are sending the
abnormally high traffic rate; otherwise, consider increasing either the
connection's maximum ingress MPS rate or the connection's alarm thresholds.
