NodeStatusDwnStrm

Path: /model/node_status/nodestatus_dwnstrm.mod

NodeStatusDwnStrm is a downstream alarm suppression behavior model that monitors nodes in a complex network. Using topology information -- either from HP OpenView, TME 10 NetView, or a file that you provide -- this model uses the relationships between nodes to determine the status of those nodes accurately.

A multi-alarm behavior model, NodeStatusDwnStrm consists of the following alarms:

For more information about NodeStatusDwnStrm, refer to the white paper, OPEN NerveCenter: Downstream Alarm Suppression.

Property

The following property must be in the property group for the nodes you want to monitor:

system (SnmpStatus alarm) and icmpStatus (IcmpStatus alarm)

Trigger Generators

Below is a list of the objects that generate triggers:

Events Sent to OpenView

The table below summarizes the events this behavior model sends to OpenView:

Event Name Inform Number Description

NC_IcmpTimeout

1102

This inform event indicates that attempts to contact a node have failed due to ICMP timeout.


NC_SnmpStatus

1103

This inform event is triggered by the SNMP timeout and indicates that attempts to contact a node have failed.


For more information about integrating NerveCenter with OpenView, or the other NerveCenter-supported network manager platforms, refer to the book Integrating NerveCenter with a Network Management Platform.

Optional Customization

Below is a list of behavior model settings that you might want to customize to suit the requirements of your site.
