Alarm management
Status
Acknowledged
Therefore, by looking at an event status on the ITM CIT, one knows if an action has
been done on a specific event, and if the cause of the problem has been resolved.
Therefore, the status describes the latency or the resolution of the alarm cause(s).
Reporting state
This is attribute that allows an event/alarm to be displayed on the management system.
There are two possible reporting states:
Reporting State
Reported
Not Reported
Each alarm reporting state can be viewed and modified whenever required. The
procedures to do so are described in
Severity level
The severity is the attribute which attempts to describe the seriousness of the event.
The severity level has to be decided by the end-user, and manually assigned to each
alarm on the management system, according to your maintenance philosophy. The
information is sent to the network element. Once these initial settings are input, the
system can start monitoring events and classifying them according to their impact on
service (severity).
The three possible severity levels are:
Severity
PROMPT
DEFERRED
