Chapter 1 Troubleshooting Overview
Managing Events and Alarms
Events and Alarm Logs
It is recommended that you manage the event and alarm logs in a manner that permits the operator to
access all events and alarms and watch for unexpected events or alarms. For example, if any of the
following anomalies are seen, investigate promptly to determine the required action:
•
Congestion warnings
•
Routing errors
•
Termination failures
•
Billing errors
•
Security warnings
•
Diagnostic failures
•
Process failovers
Viewing Event or Alarm Logs
Use the following
show
commands to view event or alarm logs. The event and alarm logs are typically
used if the user session is disrupted, or if all events or alarms of one kind are needed in a single report.
show event-log
id=<
sn
>; type=<
type
>; number=<
num
>; severity=<
severity
>;
component-id= <
component-id
>; origin=<
process-id
>;
start-time=<
yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
>; end-time=<
yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
>;
show alarm-log
id=<
sn
>; type=<
type
>; number=<
num
>; severity=<

component-id=<
component-id
>; origin=<
process-id
>;
start-time=<
yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
>; end-time=<
yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
>;
Note
If the
show event-log
or
show alarm-log
commands are issued without any tokens (parameters),
all
events or alarms of
all
types and
all
severities for
all
components are displayed.
Issuing the
show event-log
or
show alarm-log
commands with any combination of optional tokens
limits the display to a subset of events or alarms as determined by the optional tokens specified.
By default the 30,000 entries are maintained in the Event/Alarm logs (currently in MySql database). For
every 30 minute interval the event generator (EGA) retains the most recent 30,000 entries in the log. All
entries above this are deleted, i.e. if you do a
show alarm-log limit=1
; and reply says 1 of 32008, then
EGA would delete the 8 oldest entries.
Note
If the
show event-log
or
show alarm-log
commands are issued without any tokens (parameters), up to
30,000 entries may be scrolled across the screen with no way to stop it. It may take an extended period
of time to display all entries. These commands should ordinarily be issued with optional tokens.
