Defining alarms
Sample alarm for input-relay closure status on any remote shelf
The following commands configure an alarm for input-relay closure on any remote
shelf in a hosted system:
HOST>
new alarm closed
HOST>
set enabled = yes
HOST>
set event = input-relay-closed
HOST>
write -f
HOST>
new alarm open
HOST>
set enabled = yes
HOST>
set event = input-relay-open
HOST>
write -f
If one of the alarms is triggered, the alarm action takes effect, and the
remote-shelf-
stat
profile is updated. In addition, the status is accessible in the output of the
alarm -s
command. For example, the following output shows contact closure on
shelf 2:
HOST>
alarm -s
Type Address State
Input Relay Closed { 2 0 1 } Active
Input Relay Closed { 2 0 2 } Active
Input Relay Closed { 2 0 3 } Active
Monitoring environmental conditions
To monitor alarm conditions for temperature changes, perform the following tasks.
1
Define high and low temperature thresholds in the
thermal
profile.
admin>
read thermal
THERMAL read
admin>
set bottom-high = 30
admin>
write
THERMAL written
2
Create
alarm
profiles for low-temperature and high-temperature events and
define the list of actions Stinger take if either temperature alarms is raised.
admin>
new alarm thermal
ALARM/thermal read
admin>
set event = high-temp
admin>
set phy = {1 8 1}
admin>
set enable = yes
admin>
write
ALARM/thermal written
