Viewing Alarms and Events


This appendix describes how to identify faults (events or alarms) that a Cisco DSLAM generates on the network. When a fault occurs on a managed object in the network, CDM receives immediate notification. When you open the Cisco EMF Event Browser from the launchpad, a color next to the network object indicates the presence of an alarm.

SNMP traps raise alarms on CDM. You can detect the source of an alarm by using the Event Browser to navigate through the network object hierarchy to the affected object. Alarms are propagated up the element hierarchy according to severity (see Table A-2). All alarms are stored within the Event Browser, which displays both current and historical data. For further information on the Event Browser, refer to the Cisco Element Management Framework User Guide.

This appendix includes the following sections:

Viewing Alarms through the Event Browser Window

You can detect the source of an alarm by using the Event Browser window, or Event Browser, to navigate through the network object hierarchy to the affected object. Alarms propagate up the element hierarchy according to severity. The Event Browser displays events that the system flags.

The Event Browser window is shown in Figure A-1.


Figure A-1   Event Browser Window


The Event Browser stores all alarms and displays current as well as historical data. You can detect the presence of an alarm by the color that Cisco EMF uses to represent network objects. The color of an alarm indicates its severity. SNMP traps raise alarms on CDM.

For further information on the Event Browser, refer to the Cisco Element Manager Framework User Guide.

The Event Browser window displays the following information in a table format:

You can navigate directly from a single event to the affected object to perform detailed configuration activities.

To view events in the Event Browser window, follow these steps:


Step 1   Open the Event Browser window by using one of the following methods:


Figure A-2   Events Icon


If you click the Events icon, the Event Browser can display events for all of the DSLAMs being managed. Clicking the Events icon opens the Query Editor window (see Figure A-3). Through this window you can specify the severity of the alarms you want to view. (Once the Event Browser is open, you can open the Query Editor again by choosing Query Setup from the Edit menu.)


Figure A-3   Query Editor Window


Step 2   Set your query criteria on the window.

The Query Editor contains the following tabs that you can use to define and refine your alarm search criteria:

Step 3   Use the >> or << arrows to select or deselect the choices in the Available Values column:

Step 4   Always click Activate after you specify the values for the alarms that you want to view.

The Event Browser displays all alarms that match your query criteria.




Note   Refer to the Cisco Element Manager Framework User Guide for more detailed information about using the Query Editor.

Viewing ATM Interface Faults

You can view faults on ATM interfaces for a specified interface. Complete the following steps to view ATM interface faults:


Step 1   From the Map Viewer window, in the Component Managed view, right-click the chassis object for which you want to view ATM interface faults to access the object menu.

Step 2   Choose Cisco DSL Manager > Interface > Faults > ATM.

The ATM Interface Faults window opens. (See Figure A-4.)


Figure A-4   ATM Interface Faults Window


Step 3   From the list boxes on the left, select the relevant chassis, card, and ATM interface.

The fault information for the selected ATM interface appears in the Fault tab on the right.



The Fault tab consists of three areas:

Table A-1 describes the fields in these areas.

Table A-1   ATM Interface Window—Fault Tab Field Description

Field Description
General Errors

Transmitted Message Errors

Specifies the number of Incorrect Messages transmitted on the interface. The Incorrect Messages counter reflects any sort of incorrect information in a message.

Detected Message Errors

Identifies the number of Incorrect Messages detected on the interface. The Incorrect Messages counter reflects any sort of incorrect information in a message.

SSCOP Errored PDUs

Calculates the sum of the following errors—Invalid PDUs are defined in SSCOP and consist of PDUs with incorrect length (MAA-ERROR code U); undefined PDU type code; or not 32-bit aligned. PDUs that result in MAA error codes are discarded.

SONET Frame Errors

This area not used.

DS1/E1/DS3/E3 Errors
