2.3 Alarm Forwarding Architecture

Alarm Forwarding supports the forwarding of alarms to applications in an external system. It supports two protocols for alarm forwarding:

  • Traps (SNMP)
  • Mails (SMTP)

Alarm Forwarding supports the use of Filters. You can create, edit, and delete a Filter and a forwarding destination. A Filter List provides information for a Filter:

  • Rec No - record number; a number given for indexing alarms in the Filter alarm list
  • Rule - unique system-generated number that identifies the Filter
  • Filter Name - name of the Filter
  • Description - description of the Filter
  • Destination Name - destination of the filtered alarm. It can be SNMP or SMTP or both.

You can set the forwarding criteria based on the Filters defined for fields such as:

  • Ack State
  • Alarm Cleared User
  • Alarm ID
  • Alarm Type
  • Managed Object Class
  • Managed Object ID
  • Perceived Severity ID
  • Probable Cause
  • Specific Problem
  • User Name

Note:

Destination configuration is part of platform configuration. These steps (SMTP server, SNMP version, and target IP) are described in Oracle Communications IDIH Operation, Administration, and Maintenance.
