Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
alarm alarm-name	Specifies the name of an alarm message or event.	The value is a case-sensitive string of 1 to 64 characters without spaces.
level alarm-level	Specifies the severity of an alarm message or event: Critical: indicates that a service affecting condition has occurred and an immediate corrective action is required. Such a severity can be reported. For example, when a managed object becomes totally out of service, its capability must be restored. Major: indicates that a service affecting condition has developed and an urgent corrective action is required. Such a severity can be reported. For example, when there is a severe degradation in the capability of a managed object, its full capability must be restored. Minor: indicates the existence of a non-service affecting fault condition and that corrective action should be taken in order to prevent a more serious (for example, service affecting) fault. Such a severity can be reported. For example, when the detected alarm condition is not currently degrading the capacity of the managed object. Warning: indicates the detection of a potential or impending service affecting fault, before any significant effects have been felt. Action should be taken to further diagnose (if necessary) and correct the problem in order to prevent it from becoming a more serious service affecting fault. Indeterminate: indicates that the severity level cannot be determined. Cleared: indicates the clearing of one or more previously reported alarms. This alarm clears all alarms for this managed object that have the same alarm type, possible causes and fault symptoms (if given). Multiple associated notifications may be cleared by using the Correlated notifications parameter.	The value is a character string. In the X.733 standard, according to the severity and emergency, alarm messages are classified into six levels. The more serious event an alarm message indicates, the smaller alarm-level is. Critical indicates the alarm severity 1, whereas Cleared indicates the alarm severity 6.

Usage Guidelines

Alarm messages are classified into root alarm messages and resume-alarm messages. All the alarms are saved on the device.

Events are classified into critical events and events. Critical events are saved on a device and can be obtained by the NMS. Events are not saved on a device.

The fault-management alarm command can be used to promote or degrade the level of an alarm message according to the severity and emergency of the alarm message.

Example

# Set the alarm severity of the alarm message named hwCfgManEventlog to major.
