Chapter 1 Troubleshooting Overview
Managing Events and Alarms
Managing Events and Alarms
The BTS 10200 generates messages or events to notify you of network conditions. Events with severity
levels of critical, major, and minor are classified as alarms. Events and alarms are reported to
the operator console and can be retrieved through command line interface (CLI) commands or a Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) manager.
The BTS 10200 software writes event and alarm messages to log files that are set up during system
initialization. This section provides information on using and working with event and alarm log files.
Alarms and informational events produce different system responses.
•
An alarm is reported whenever an alarmed state changes.
•
An informational event is reported just once, upon its occurrence, through the operator interfaces
without any state change being required.
An informational event indicates that a condition worthy of note has occurred. An invalid protocol
call state transition is an example of an informational event.
