Hi -

Private email has made it clear that some folks didn't read the
attached message.  Make no mistake:  disman WG last call on the
alarm MIB began March 28 when the draft appeared.  The WG last
call will end 5 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on April 11, 2002.

HI,

The I-D still depends of RFC 3014. Steve Mouton and I plus RamK and
implementor at cisco and implementor at Riverstone are looking into
RFC 3014 and have found problems. Steve Mouton and I are working on
a replacement MIB module to 3014. This replacement MIB module could
result in the I-D being broken in its usage of RFC 3014. Note the
reference in the I-D to RFC 3014 is not simply as an example.
Hint: see the definition of object alarmListName.

So, until the I-D is purged of references to RFC 3014, I find it
inappropriate for it to be forwarded by the WG to the IESG for
consideration as publication as an RFC.

Regards,
/david t. perkins

I find this argument in-sufficient. It includes a reference to a non-chartered work (AFAIK) and a conditional ('could result in the I-D being broken').  RFC 3014 is a standards track document at PS. Answering in same conditional mode, IF a replacement work will be chartered, and IF this will indeed replace RFC 3014, the next versions of the Alarm MIB COULD refer this replacement. Until then my opinion is that the references in the I-D are valid.

Regards,

Dan

As a technical contributor, I shared Dave Perkin's concern
about making the linkage between the alarm MIB and RFC 3014
tighter than would be architecturally necessary.  One of the
important changes between the -05- and -06- drafts is the
replacement of alarmActiveLogIndex  with alarmActiveLogPointer.

I think this change has eliminated any technical dependency
on the indexing structure of the log MIB.  The only
other normative reference to 3014 is in the DESCRIPTION of
alarmListName, and I really don't see how this ("The name of
the list of alarms.  This SHOULD be the same as nlmLogName
if the Notification Log MIB [RFC3014] is supported.") could
be a problem.

Sharon, Dan, Randy, and all,

I realize that last call is probably over in relation to the Alarm mib; therefore you may
choose to ignore my comments below.  I have only just now had some time to look at this.
On the assumption that you would like to hear the comments anyway, I have included them.

I commend the editors for the progress that has been made. I know how difficult it can
sometimes be to get something standardized.

I have tried to put my comments into a priority order with my greatest concerns first.
1) I question the wisdom of doing the last call on this MIB without having other alarm
management functions adequately addressed such as alarm correlation and alarm suppression
and also going for last call.  While it looks to me that the MIB is well designed for the
functionality it is intended to provide, I am not sure that it provides all the necessary
functions. It also concerns me that agent behaviors in declaring/clearing/etc errors is
not discussed.  Further, I had hoped that this MIB would cover transient as well as
persistent "errors" (using your terminology).  Assuming all of this was discussed and
these constraints are satisfactory to everybody else, the remaining comments are in the
context of the given constraints and have quick remedies.

2)  I have a problem with the definition of Fault as a "lasting" error or warning
"condition".  What is meant by lasting is not clear nor what is meant by condition. In
addition, the ITU has used the term Fault for "errors" that are entering into the
persistency function and are therefor, by definition, not persistent (if that is what was
meant by lasting). Since the term fault is only used in the definition section, I would
propose that the term Fault be removed and the definition of Alarm be modified to
"Persistent indication of an Error".  (Note: I actually would prefer an Alarm to be
defined as an indication of trouble or something along those lines... my proposed
correction is assuming that there is no negotiation on whether or not an alarm can be
based on a transient condition) The definition for Alarm Raise would become: " The initial
detection of the error indicated by an alarm or any number of alarm states later entered,
except clear. A Notification SHOULD be sent on alarm raise." The definition for Alarm
Clear would become: "The detection that the error indicated by an alarm no longer exists.
A Notification SHOULD be sent on alarm clear."

3) In the overview, it would be nice to add a description regarding the extensibility of
the AlarmActiveEntry.  I think this is an important feature.

4) Section 4.1.4, it is not clear to me how it can be know what type of resource the alarm
is for.  It would be nice to have a description of this.

Regards,
Tammy

"4.1.3 Alarm State Transition Notification
   Alarms are modelled by defining all possible states in
the
   alarmModelTable, as well as defining
alarmModelNotificationId,
   alarmModelVarbindIndex, and alarmModelVarbindValue for
each of the
   possible alarm states.  Optionally,
ituAlarmPerceivedSeverity models
   the states in terms of ITU perceived severity.
   Alarm state transitions can use existing notifications or
can use
   the generic notifications and alarmActiveState and
alarmClearState.
   If the implementation chooses not to alert the management
station,
   then a value of 0.0 can be used for
alarmModelNotificationId.
   Alternatively, a notification can be defined in
   alarmModeNotifiationId and no hosts specified in the
SNMP-TARGET-MIB
   [RFC2573].

What's a 'alarmModeNotifiationId'?

I'm glad to see we've gotten some substantive comments.
We will need to discuss those comments (and any others that
might appear) on the mailing list, and revise the draft
accordingly.  Before issue another WG last call.  Please,
let's make this the last iteration!

Is alarmActiveSpecificPointer really intended to be
"read-write" or should it be "read-only"?

All,
Found another item.  For clarity, I think the following definition:
   alarmActiveDateAndTime OBJECT-TYPE
      SYNTAX      DateAndTime
      MAX-ACCESS  not-accessible
      STATUS      current
      DESCRIPTION
          "The local date and time when the alarm occurred.

          Implementations MUST include the offset from UTC,
          if available.  Implementation in environments in which
          the UTC offset is not available is NOT RECOMMENDED."
      ::= { alarmActiveEntry 2 }

Should be modified to:
   alarmActiveDateAndTime OBJECT-TYPE
      SYNTAX      DateAndTime
      MAX-ACCESS  not-accessible
      STATUS      current
      DESCRIPTION
          "The local date and time when the error occurred.

          Implementations MUST include the offset from UTC,
          if available.  Implementation in environments in which
          the UTC offset is not available is NOT RECOMMENDED."
      ::= { alarmActiveEntry 2 }


Of course, I would not object to two time stamps.  One for the time the error
occurred and another for the time an alarm was reported.
Cheers,
Tammy

Hi!
According to SMIv2 ch 7.3

   If any columnar object in a conceptual row has "read-create" as its
   maximal level of access, then no other columnar object of the same
   conceptual row may have a maximal access of "read-write".

The alarmModelTable violates this.
best regards Stefan

The question is where we go from here. Possible path:

- keep all mappings from the original ITU list (values <256)
- eliminate obvious duplication cases 
- wherever mapping of the ITU to CIM values is not perfect, add new values (>256) to fill in possible alarm cases not covered by ITU

Does this seem reasonable? 

Keep in mind that the draft is clear that 'The following shall be used as the initial values, but the latest values for these textual conventions should be obtained from IANA'.

Regards,

Dan

Is this just me that sort of wrries when I see

> Some more duplication cases in ITU-IANA-ALARM-TC:
>  

To me it is either a set of ITU controled TCs, or a set
of IANA controled TCs. How is this going to work out
if both organisations need to stay in sync on this?

Has anybody checked with ITU that they are happy to be
restricted to 255 code points? Can we get that in a
statement from them (possibly from SG 4?)?

Do we have arranged for ITU to check and sign-off on the
values we currently have in this document?

Maybe I am just worrying too much... I am pretty busy with 
other stuff, so I have not followed all the emails/postings
all that closely.

Bert

A good question. I think that we defined this object as "read-write" having in mind the extensibility to different model-specific Alarm MIBs. However, thinking it twice, I think that an agent needs not attach a specific given alarm to more than one model. Even if more than one model-specific Alarm MIBs are supported by an agent, a given alarm should be mapped only into one of them. I think that changing the object to "read-only" would be a better choice. 

I would like to hear Sharon's opinion, and other opinions as well.

Dan

I agree with Reva that the only reasonable MAX-ACCESS for =
alarmActiveSpecificPointer is read-only=20

The alarmActiveTable should have entries that tells a mgr about =
outstanding alarms.
An entry with associated entries (alarmActiveSpecificPointer) is created =
and NEVER changed.

This is also the view in X733 whereas an Alarm Record is never changed =
after creation.

hi

It's actually called IANA-ITU-ALARM-TC, but that
probably does not help your concerns much.

Study group 4 has seen the textual convention and
seem happy with it. I'm not sure if they noticed
the 255 limit, but we can verify. 

It would seem a liaison statement on how we get
ITU sign-off on these values would be useful.

Sharon

Is this just me that sort of wrries when I see

To me it is either a set of ITU controled TCs, or a set
of IANA controled TCs. How is this going to work out
if both organisations need to stay in sync on this?

Has anybody checked with ITU that they are happy to be
restricted to 255 code points? Can we get that in a
statement from them (possibly from SG 4?)?

Do we have arranged for ITU to check and sign-off on the
values we currently have in this document?

Maybe I am just worrying too much... I am pretty busy with 
other stuff, so I have not followed all the emails/postings
all that closely.

All,
I ran across a perceived anomaly related to the first item in one of my previous
mail that I thought would be relevant to point out.

It was explained to me that the table for active alarms is indexed based on time
the error occurred, which allows the manager the ability to not have to retrieve
the whole table all the time but can just query on the "most recent" alarms.

This appears to work fine in the nominal case, however the addition of alarm
suppression feature creates an anomaly using that approach.

If an error occurs while alarm reporting is suppressed and still exists when
alarm reporting is no longer suppressed, the alarm will be reported at the time
the suppression is released but the time stamp will indicate the time the error
occurred not the time the error is reported (as it should be).  Thus, when
supporting both the alarm mib and the arc mib, there is the possibility that
"new" alarms could show up in the active alarm table with time stamps older
(having earlier time stamps) than any other alarm in the active alarm table.

One solution to this, though expensive, would be to have 2 timestamps in the
active alarm table: one for the time the error occured and the other for the
time the alarm notification was sent.

Regards,
Tammy

The problem is a both worse and not so bad.

Some of the enumerations are peculiar to the DMTF, and
even the ones that are supposed to be the same from the two
specifications have slightly different names.

However, what we're really trying to do here is to provide
a way of mapping probable cause codes from different
specifications into a single representation.

That is, we're mapping from the ITU and DMTF (and possibly
other) sets into our own.  So, from this perspective, I think
the synchronization issue is less serious.

Tammy,
=20
I agree with the proposed change in the DESCRIPTION clause, which is =
consistent with the definition of an alarm.
=20
Wrt. the SYNTAX, this was debated in SLC (if I remember well), and the =
decision was to go with DateAndTime.

Thanks,

All,=20
Found another item.  For clarity, I think the following definition:=20

      SYNTAX      DateAndTime=20
      MAX-ACCESS  not-accessible=20
      STATUS      current=20

          if available.  Implementation in environments in which=20
          the UTC offset is not available is NOT RECOMMENDED."=20
      ::=3D { alarmActiveEntry 2 }=20


Should be modified to:=20
   alarmActiveDateAndTime OBJECT-TYPE=20
      SYNTAX      DateAndTime=20
      MAX-ACCESS  not-accessible=20
      STATUS      current=20

Of course, I would not object to two time stamps.  One for the time the =

But we are limiting the range within which these other
organisations can extend (if they ever need to) right?
I think it would behoove us to try and get some official
agreement from those other orgs that this is OK. WIth 
official, I think I would be happy to see it in the form
of an email from the specifi cSG or WG (or whatever they 
call them) chair who is responsible for such codes.

The language in question in the IANA considerations section
does not constrain ITU in any way.  It only sets aside a space
in which ITU values and our "mapped" values will be the same.
(As a technical contributor, I don't see a lot of value to
keeping the numbers the same, except perhaps in devices too
resource-constrained to implement this MIB anyway.)

|  Values of IANAItuProbableCause less than 255 can only be given out
|  if they correspond to ITU numbers and are agreed to by the disman
|  working group. Values of IANAItuProbableCause greater than 255 can
|  be given out when agreed to by the disman working group.
|
|  Values of IANAItuEventType can be given out when agreed to by the
|  disman working group.
 
(I do agree with the earlier comment that the second
paragraph implies a kind of WG immortality that is probably
not appropriate.)

Hi -

Please note that if your mailer spews HTML or sends multipart
/ alternative MIME to the disman list, your postings will
be delayed until they can be manually approved.  This is a
defense against the forged viral mailings that have hit other
IETF working group lists.

Note that some cheesy mail readers will try to reply "in kind"
to HTML messages.  With one such defective tool, the sequence
Format->Plain Text in the reply window will serve to override
the annoying behaviour.

As a technical contributor, I think this might be a start,
but it's not enough.  See my posting *much* earlier in this
thread to see why.  In short: we also have 1:n, n:1, and n:n
mappings between the DMTF and the ITU stuff to consider.
At the very least I think we need to say something about
performing the mappings in such a way as to not lose precision
from whatever was received.

Please, let's NOT get into this mode of operation.

The ITU does not "own" this MIB.  It's a product of
this working group, and part of our job is to consider
related work, such as that of the ITU, to ensure that we
can adequately represent the things we need to represent.
Both the SG4 and the DMTF have been most helpful in providing
us with information so that we might accomplish our task.

If we believe that we have a requirement to be able to
preserve "probable cause" semantics from DMTF and ITU
management information, the minimum requirement for us is
only to ensure that we define a mapping from their code sets
to ours that does not lose information.  They do not need to
approve our mappings.

I am not sure that I follow you completely. Our concept is that the ITU list is the basic staff and reference model for the list of possible causes. We should add staff from other sources only when we think something is missing in the ITU list. This was the reason - as I understood it - to look into the DMTF stuff.

If somebody invents a better and greater list later, he could go to IANA and have the his new values added to the TC, as well as explanatory commented text to document the mapping of other values from his list in the previously available values.

IMO the text assigning the responsibility of administrating the list to the disman wg for eternity should be changed.

Dan

I am concerned about the use of monotonic increasing in the
Alarm MIB and others.

My university text book - E.G. Philips A Course of Analysis
(1960) - defines monotonic increasing as
s1 LTE s2 LTE s3 LTE s4 ...
eg 1 1 3 5  7 7 9 10 ..
which won't do for an INDEX such as
alarmActiveVariableIndex or alarmActiveIndex.

Any thoughts?

You are correct in the analysis of the behavior. However, I think that this is how it should work. 

Assuming that an alarm suppression mechanism is supported you seem to make assumptions about how it should work - timestamps of when the error occurred are somehow kept internally. This is an implementation assumption. What if in another implementation, polling an error conditions starts only after the suppression is released.

Actually Alarm suppression is not part of the scope of the Alarm MIB. Model Specific Alarm MIBs may add such mechanisms, and document the behavior.

Dan

With all due respect to your text book - this is the widely spread way we are defining the 'arbitrary'  indices in many IETF MIBs. 

Actually what do you suggest? would 'strictly monotonic increasing' be OK?

Thanks,

Dan

Dan,
While the ARC MIB is a separate MIB, it was my understanding that it should work together with this Alarm MIB in a compatible fashion and that they both (and possibly other MIBs as well --- such as a Conditions MIB (or should I say Error MIB)) fell under the topic of Alarm Management.

I certainly don't see the Alarm MIB as sufficient to meet my Alarm Management requirements.  However, with the addition of other MIBs, it should hopefully be close enough (It will always lack some of the ad hoc capabilities I have in using other protocols.).

Some implementations may do polling but that would violate the T1 and ITU requirements and not be acceptable for telecommunications applications.  So, while some may do polling, there are definitely some that will not.  Further, polling makes for poor analysis because the receiver of the alarm information, without a valid time
stamp, cannot correlate the occurrence of the error with any other activities that were occurring at the time the error occurred.

Philosophically, I think it would be better to have no time stamp than an incorrect one with no indication that it is incorrect.  But again, an elimination of the time stamp would not meet my requirements.
Regards,
Tammy

Two thoughts on identifying a SNMPv1 Trap in the Alarm MIB
and others.
1) The community name is an OCTET STRING of up to 255
octets;this gets stored in an SnmpAdmin String eg
alarmActiveContextName which is limited to 32 octets; does
the community name get truncated?
2) What is the OID for an SNMPv1 trap such as linkUp eg as
in alarmActiveNotificationID?  Does the Alarm MIB agent used
the SNMPv2/3 definitions eg .1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.4 ?

Hi -

Most CFPs sent to this list are spam, with no clear connection
to the WG's activities.  This one is different and is highly
recommended.

HI,

An SNMPv1 community string value and a CONTEXT name are not
necessarily identical. That is, you cannot say the mapping
is "always" one-to-one. 

For both the context name and the OID for the notification,
you would follow the instructions found in RFC 2576

Yes, I was taught 'strictly increasing' or 'strictly
monotonic increasing' or 'increasing in the strict sense'
and have used that in the engineering I have done since.  I
have looked at more modern mathematics books and see no
change in the language.

With all due respect to your text book - this is the widely
spread way we are defining the 'arbitrary'  indices in many
IETF MIBs.

Actually what do you suggest? would 'strictly monotonic
increasing' be OK?

Thanks,

Hi -

In draft-ietf-disman-alarm-mib-06.txt, the definition of the
alarmActiveState notification includes references to two
accessible-for-notify objects, alarmModelIndexVarbind and
alarmModelStateVarbind.  It seems to me that it would be
quite a bit simpler to remove these two from the OBJECTS
list, and replace them with alarmActiveModelPointer.

Similarly, in the definition of the alarmClearState
notification, alarmModelIndexVarbind could also replaced
with alarmActiveModelPointer.

This would allow us to get rid of two object definitions,
and all the varbinds in the OBJECTS clause would come from
the same row in the same table, simplifying implementation.

While we're on the topic of these two notifications, I
think that alarmActiveResourceId is not particularly useful
without alarmActiveContextName, alarmActiveEngineAddressType,
alarmActiveEngineAddress, and alarmActiveEngineID.

I think I did not understand that we were talking about
a mapping. If it is a mapping then I think there is no problem.

Sounds OK. We'll do the change in the next round. Thanks, Dan

Tammy,

I think that we are back on an already beaten track. I would suggest that we do not get back to these discussions, if we want this work to progress and eventually make it to a standard. 'Your' Alarm MIB requirements exceed the agreed scope of this work. The Alarm MIB does not assume the ARC MIB as mandatory. The T1 and ITU requirements are not mandatory as well, and the telecom applications are just one of the Alarm MIB applications. There are many other, and this is why the Alarm MIB architecture is modular, and allows to accommodate different type of requirements. The core Alarm MIB needs to be kept simple. 

Regards,

Dan

Thanks for that; I had forgotten the contents of RFC2576.  I would
suggest that if and when the opportunity arises, a reference
to RFC2576 is inserted in the Alarm MIB for the creation of
OIDs for SNMP v1 traps.

But with the community string, the Alarm MIB talks of
placing the community string directly into eg
alarmActiveContextName, not of translating it via the
RFC2576 SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB, so I think truncation is
possible and again, should be mentioned if and when
opportunity arises.

hi

<Randy>
In draft-ietf-disman-alarm-mib-06.txt, the definition of the
alarmActiveState notification includes references to two
accessible-for-notify objects, alarmModelIndexVarbind and
alarmModelStateVarbind.  It seems to me that it would be
quite a bit simpler to remove these two from the OBJECTS
list, and replace them with alarmActiveModelPointer.
</Randy>

But, the manager is more interested in the model index 
and the model state. Yes, these can be extracted out 
of the instance information in alarmActiveModelPointer,
but this is added complexity that, based on the number 
of questions I receive about notifications that do 
this sort of this, causes a lot of confusion.

<Randy>

This would allow us to get rid of two object definitions,
and all the varbinds in the OBJECTS clause would come from
the same row in the same table, simplifying implementation.
</Randy>

... for the device. Of course, being able to varbind table
indices would solve this for both of us.

<Randy>
While we're on the topic of these two notifications, I
think that alarmActiveResourceId is not particularly useful
without alarmActiveContextName, alarmActiveEngineAddressType,
alarmActiveEngineAddress, and alarmActiveEngineID.
</Randy>
Maybe. I'll add it to the issues list.

Alarm #25 Relation to RFC3014 (Closed)
  There was concern that the Alarm MIB references RFC3014
  which could cause problems if the notification log MIB
  was modified to address some issues. In -06, the 
  replacement of alarmActiveLogIndex with alarmActiveLogPointer
  eliminates the technical dependency. There are other references,
  but these were viewed as being appropriate.

Alarm #26 Extensibility of alarmActiveEntry
  "In the overview, it would be nice to add a description regarding the
extensibility of
  the AlarmActiveEntry.  I think this is an important feature."

Alarm #27 Resource Type
  "Section 4.1.4, it is not clear to me how it can be know what type of
resource the alarm
  is for.  It would be nice to have a description of this."

Alarm #28 Typo alarmModeNotifiationId -> alarmModelNotificationId (Closed)

Alarm #29 MAX-ACCESS in alarmModelTable should be read-create (Closed)

Alarm #30 MAX-ACCESS of alarmActiveSpecificPointer to be read-only (Closed)

Alarm #31 Duplicate Probable causes
  fire (120) & fireDetected (266)

  underlayingResourceUnavailable (166) & underlyingResourceUnavailable(287)
  and possibly 
  toxicGas (133) & toxicLeakDetected (286)

Alarm #32 Description of alarmActiveDateAndTime (Closed)
  Change "when the alarm occurred" to "when the error occurred"

Alarm #33 Disman Immortality
  Text in the IANA considerations section suggests we'll still be
  around for IETF 34523421, held in the Mars colonies.

Hi all,

I _entirely_ support Randy's suggestion.

And that is the way they are _supposed_ to do it.  That's why
the SMI rules are what they are.  In my opinion, adding in these
accessible-for-notify copies of modelstate and modelIndex is
an ugly hack to try to get around the rules.

This is perhaps the third round (maybe more) on this mailing
list about this rule in the SMI.  I think we need to just accept
that the SMI says what it does, not try to hack our way around
it, and expect people to write tools that do the right thing.

I'm sorry, but I just don't understand why parsing a varbind
to get the index information is so hard...

And, by the way, if the alarmModelTable is indexed by something
other than an empty alarmListName, they'll have to parse
something to get that out, or am I missing something?

> Of course, being able to varbind table

But you cannot.  Since we obviously disagree on the validity of
the rule (I continue to believe it's a Good Thing that promotes
better tools), I suppose that I'll just jump up and down and
holler that RFC 2578 forbids what you want to do, so don't
do it.  :-)  Even if the copy-and-make-it-accessible-for-notify
hack doesn't violate the letter of the law, it sure violates
the spirit.

Cheers,

David

hi

<Dave Partain>
I _entirely_ support Randy's suggestion.
</Dave Partain>

I knew I could count on you ;-). I think we'll
have to agree to disagree on the validity of that
particular SMI rule and take it up in SMIng.

<Dave Partain>
And, by the way, if the alarmModelTable is indexed by something
other than an empty alarmListName, they'll have to parse
something to get that out, or am I missing something?
</Dave Partain>
Good point. I'll mark this as issue #36. I'm still not convinced
the modelPointer is the best solution though.

I agree completely.  If the SMI is changed, I'll be quiet.  I
promise :-)

Does your answer mean that you'll remove the get-around-the-rules
hack?

But that won't change the SMIv2 rule and since you are writing an
SMIv2 MIB, ...

BTW, I agree with Randy and David (which probably does not surprise
you much. ;-)

Yes. The Alarm MIB uses SMIv2 (a full standard since 1999) which
identifies notifications via OIDs. There are appropriate mappings
defined in RFC 2576 if you have to use SNMPv1 with SMIv2 MIB modules.

Dan,

Your response here really surprises me!  If this Alarm MIB work disregards ITU requirements than why are there so many e-mails discussing support for ITU alarm codes?  Just forget about that then and make up your own.

I never have pushed to make the ARC MIB mandatory.   But, I believe if an application requires both the ARC MIB and the Alarm MIB then the addition of the ARC MIB should not break the Alarm MIB.  The way the Alarm MIB is designed currently, addition of the ARC MIB breaks it.

I proposed a fix of having 2 timestamps in the active alarm table rather than one :  One time stamp (the time the alarm was reported) be the one to use for indexing and a second time stamp (the time the error occured).

Maybe there is another way to fix this by using different attributes for indexing?  I don't know.  I haven't studied that.

I think that there is fine line between simplicity and stupidity.  While I agree that unecessary bells and whistles should be avoided to allow for a broader application base, this should not be acheived at the expense of MIB integrity.

'Your' Alarm MIB requirements exceed the agreed scope of this work. The Alarm MIB does not assume the ARC MIB as mandatory. The T1 and ITU requirements are not mandatory as well, and the telecom applications are just one of the Alarm MIB applications. There are many other, and this is why the Alarm MIB architecture is modular, and allows to accommodate different type of requirements. The core Alarm MIB needs to be kept simple.

> I am not sure that I follow you completely. Our concept is that the ITU list is the basic staff and reference model for the list of possible causes. We should add staff from other sources only when we think something is missing in the ITU list. This was the reason - as I understood it - to look into the DMTF stuff.

If we're just passing through stuff from other sources, we don't
even need to maintain the list.  But if we really do care what the
enumeration *means*, we've got a problem.

What worries me here is the question of what kind of guidance we can
provide to those using these values.  If our list includes everything
from both the DMTF and ITU sources, there are several possible values
that might be used to report, for example, a heating problem.

That's fine.  My question is how someone implementing the
code to generate an alarm would choose a particular value for
ProbableCause from the overlapping possibilities.  I think
it amounts to recommending to implementors that they choose
the narrowest semantic which does not exclude the real
"probable cause".

Agreed.

If no proposal surfaces, should I declare this dead due

HI,

What if there are more than one notification type that causes
a change to the same state? The alarm model table doesn't
seem to support this. How is this done?

HI,

In the 06 draft of the alarm MIB, the text in the DESCRIPTION
clause for object alarmModelVarbindIndex needs to be corrected.
It confuses the SNMP operations with the SMI. It currently reads...

           "The index into the varbind listing of the notification
           indicated by alarmModelNotificationId which helps
           signal that the given alarm has changed state.
           If there is no applicable varbind, the value of this
           object MUST be zero.

           For SNMPv1 traps, a 1 indicates the first varbind. For
           NOTIFICATION-TYPE, a 1 indicates the first real varbind
           after the required varbinds of sysUptime and SNMPTrapOID."

And should be changed to...
           "The index into the varbind listing of the notification
           indicated by alarmModelNotificationId which helps
           signal that the given alarm has changed state.
           If there is no applicable varbind, the value of this
           object MUST be zero.

           For v1Traps, a 1 indicates the first varbind. For
           v2Traps and Informs, a 1 indicates the first varbind
           after the required varbinds of sysUptime and SNMPTrapOID."

HI,

It really doesn't seem like the Alarm MIB is useful without the
ITU MIB. Can an example be provided of another specific model
so we can determine if all specific models have the common info
which should be contained in the generic tables.

Hi,

The object alarmActiveStatsTotalActive should be a counter and
not a Gauge32. Note that the following objects are correctly
specified as counters:
    ituAlarmActiveStatsIndeterminateTotal
    ituAlarmActiveStatsCriticalTotal     
    ituAlarmActiveStatsMajorTotal        
    ituAlarmActiveStatsMinorTotal        
    ituAlarmActiveStatsWarningTotal

HI,

How is it determined into which named active list an alarm is put?
How and why named lists are used is not shown.

Also, it seems kind of redundant that the model table is indexed
by a list name, since it would seem like there would be the same
entries in each named list.

Could an example be shown that demonstrated how named model and
active lists were used together.

HI,

In the alarm MIB (the 06 draft), how does one specify in the
alarm model table (or elsewhere) how to determine the value
for object alarmActiveResourceId? Without being able to
specify this programically, it doesn't look like having
configurable alarms is doable.

One needs to have values of alarmActiveResourceId so that
clears can be paired with existing active alarms. For example,
if one "configured" linkDown notifications to raise alarms
and linkUp notifications to clear them, then if a linkDown
occurred on interface 1, and then a link down occurred on
interface 9, and then a linkUp occurred on interface 9,
you would need values of alarmActiveResourceId to know
which of the two active alarms to clear. But, there is no
way to configure this.

/david t. perkins

HI,

The "variables" table is given an inappropriate descriptors and
incorrectly described.
It is really a "varBind" table, since is includes both
the name of variables (an OID value that identifies an instance)
and the associated value. SNMP terminology is to call such
a list a "varBind" list. Also the descriptor for object
alarmActiveVariables should be changed to alarmActiveVarBinds.


A replacement might look like the following...

alarmActiveVarBindTable OBJECT-TYPE
    SYNTAX      SEQUENCE OF AlarmActiveVarBindEntry
    MAX-ACCESS  not-accessible
    STATUS      current
    DESCRIPTION
        "A table of variable binding that are associated with
        entries in the active alarm table.  The number of entries is
        equal to the sum of the values for all instances of
        object alarmActiveVarBinds."
    ::= { alarmActive 3 }

alarmActiveVarBindEntry OBJECT-TYPE
    SYNTAX      AlarmActiveVarBindEntry
    MAX-ACCESS  not-accessible
    STATUS      current
    DESCRIPTION
        "An entry in the table of variable bindings for active
        alarms.

        Entries appear in this table when there are variable bindings
        in the varbind list of a notification that caused an
        entry in the active alarm table."
    INDEX       { alarmListName, alarmActiveIndex,
                  alarmActiveVarBindIndex }
    ::= { alarmActiveVarBindTable 1 }

Also note that it is not clear whether the VarBind table includes the
two entries for sysUpTime and snmpTrapOID. (Of course the value for
these two are redundant. So I would say not to include them. However,
it is not clear if they are or are not included).

Finally, it appears to me that it would be useful to associate
variables with the cleared table. If so, this table could be used
as is with a global cleanup and change of descriptors alarmActiveIndex
and alarmClearIndex.

/david t. perkins

David,

See 4.1.4 for the definition of alarmActiveResourceId, and example 6.1 for the configuration of alarms based on linkUp/linkDown. The correspondence is built upon matching the indices with the values of index point to by linkUp to the indices pointed to by alarmActiveResourceId. This looks to me pretty  obvious. Do you think that there is need for more explanation, or maybe do you think that an alarm may be triggered on interface 1 and cleared on interface 9? (I do not think this is a practical case)

Regards,

Dan

I would not be oposed to such a change, if I was conviced that this makes the intention more clear. Though 'logically' this is a varBind table, the SMI limitations prevent it to be a real varbind, as only one of the objects between ...Entry 4 to ...Entry 12 in the row has a meaningful signification. I would rather go with an improved DESCRIPTION clasue, adding something like ' This table provides a logical table of varBinds expressed within the limitations of SMIv2'.

I am not sure that I understand this. Can you describe more specifically the required change.

There are two other applications of the Alarm MIB that I am aware about, and require model specific Alarm MIBs to be attached:

1. network security and access control. There is practically no superposition or common functionality with the ITU Alarm MIB
2. facilities management - some commonality, still a lot of specifics that need to be dealt with separately

Dan

The ITU Alarm MIB defines information specific to the Alarm model defined in ITU M.3100, X.733, X.736. 

This is actually a quote from the draft. It augments the basic Alarm MIB. The problem with the current discussion about probableCause is that we tried to exceed the initial goal and come with a more generic probableCause macro. Still the ITU alarms have priority in this context.

I agree that the ARC MIB should not break the Alarm MIB. I fail to see how it does break it. On the other hand we should not impose implementation assumptions on the Alarm MIB because of requirements to fit in the ARC MIB.

This is exactly the type of requirement that looks artificial for some implementations. It implies the capability of having both accurate values registered by an Alarm MIB agent. I understand the requirement, but this looks to me beyond the goal of the Alarm MIB.

Dan

Yep - I took the action item and fell flat on my face. :-(
The problem I'd mentioned was:
1. The Event MIB does great at wildcarding one ports,
or ALL ports. It's hard to apply a template to a subset
of all the existing ports on a device. We had to come up with
a separate table in a proprietary MIB for this. This MIB
had a table of templates, and another template-to-port mapping 
table.

Each template could specify what object to watch for/threshold.

HI,

Yes, its obvious to human readers (and, of course, I gave an example
that should be well understood). But, if arbitrary notifications
that are well defined for human readers are configured, how is the
code that determines the value of alarmActiveResourceId suppose to
figure this out? It seems like a little bit of magic for code.

Also, in re-reading X.733/ISO-10164-3, it appears that there can be
the cases:
 1) multiple active alarms on the same instance
 2) multiple correlated active alarms
in which one clear notification causes all to clear.

How is this specified in the model table?

The correspondence is built upon matching the indices with the values of index point to by linkUp to the indices pointed to by alarmActiveResourceId. This looks to me pretty  obvious. Do you think that there is need for more explanation, or maybe do you think that an alarm may be triggered on interface 1 and cleared on interface 9? (I do not think this is a practical case)

HI,

In section 8.1.26 of X.733 on trend indication, it basically says that
the trend indication is only used when there is already an active
alarm on the object instance. The next to last sentence of the
section is 
"The Trend indication parameter shall not be present is there
are no outstanding alarms." 

Given this, it seems like the values for the ItuTrendIndication TC
should have one of following additions...
   indeterminate - for when you can't determine the trend
   noneActive - for when you can determine there are currently
                 no outstanding alarms for the instance

Also, the above TC and others from the external documents do not
have the explanatory text found in those documents. This causes
pain to the MIB reader, since they have to search down those documents
and translate between SNMP terminology and CMIP terminology. Those
readers without the CMIP background may misinterpret the text
in the external documents.

Regards,
/david t. perkins

Dan,
re your following comments:
****
I agree that the ARC MIB should not break the Alarm MIB. I fail to see how it does break it. On the other hand we should not impose implementation assumptions on the Alarm MIB because of requirements to fit in the ARC MIB.

This is exactly the type of requirement that looks artificial for some implementations. It implies the capability of having both accurate values registered by an Alarm MIB agent. I understand the requirement, but this looks to me beyond the goal of the Alarm MIB.

*****
I am not imposing a requirement for 2 timestamps.  And I don't understand your point "On the other hand we should not impose implementation assumptions on the Alarm MIB because of requirements to fit in the ARC MIB."

I see the fundamental problem as follows:
The alarm model supported by the Alarm MIB appears to assume a requirement to be able to query for alarms that have been added to the active alarm table subsequent to the last manager query so that the manager does not have to read the whole table to get updated.

The Alarm MIB seems to propose to meet this requirement by indexing on the timestamp for the time the error occurred.

In analyzing this in combination with ARC, it can be seen that the currently proposed solution does not meet the original requirement as intended.  This is because the declaration of the alarm does not always coincide with the occurance of the error.

This proposed solution does not work for certain ARCed errors.  Even without ARC, I think it is a bit risky to assume that agent implementations don't support other ways of suppressing alarm declarations that could have the same effect.  For example, an error with a long integration
period.

To complicate things further (even if you may consider this outside scope I think it helps illustrate the point), what about systems that support alarm escalation and de-escalation.  Using this MIB, such a system may indicate a clear for a minor condition followed but a raise for
the same condition but only now with the severity code of major yet the same error timestamp. In this scenario, will a typical management system using this MIB, miss this updated information?

I understand that the time the error occurred does help to uniquely identify a specific occurrence of an alarm and I also understand that there might be cases where it is nice to have the table sorted in time of occurrence order, but I am worried that  the management application may
miss critical alarm information by assuming that it can rely upon looking only at those alarms information with time of occurrence happening after xxx time.

I proposed two timestamps as a possible MIB solution to discuss to meet a perceived alarm management requirement not as a requirement unto itself.  If you have a better solution to fixing this problem, I am open to that.  Maybe requiring that strictly monotonically increasing
identifiers have to be unique within a table and dropping the time of error occurrence from the index?

I don't understand how my proposal is counter to the goal of the Alarm MIB. .Maybe it would be worth restating the goal of the Alarm MIB.  What do you think is the goal of the Alarm MIB?  How is what I was proposing counter to that?

Tammy

(much discussion / elaboration deleted)

I'm thinking about this problem from an implementation
perspective, specifically with an AgentX bias.  Now I
know that we don't want to *require* the use of agentx,
but the pervasiveness of subagent technologies requires
us to at least give some thought to its implications.

If we would like to have both timestamps in the active
alarm table, where would the values come from?  If we rely
on "in-band" information in AgentX, we are left with few
reasonable choices:

    1) the subagent could supply a sysUpTime.0 varbind
       reflecting the time the condition occurred, and
       the Active Alarm MIB implementation could use its
       local time to populate the "reported" field.

    2) the subagent could supply a sysUpTime.0 varbind
       reflecting the time the condition was reported, and
       add another variable binding to reflect when the
       condition occurred.

Though I personally prefer (1) (and would like to see
appropriate language in the condition mib), both of these
alternatives have a really interesting property: the
information recording when the condition was detected ends
up in the alarmActiveVariableTable, though perhaps not in
the most convenient form imaginable.

Am I missing something here?

I also think that 1) is the better way. In the case that you describe it is the subagent that might have a better (or the only) clue about when the condition occurred. On the other hand, reporting time capability seems to be a characteristic of the main agent, similarly as in the case of a monolithic agent that polls some HW registers.

Dan

Oh, no, please. Even an IETF work item must be completed at some point. WG Last Call is not the phase where goals are discussed. This work is at draft -06, and is lasting for two years or so. Goals were discussed for another bunch of time even before this. Let us complete the Last Call, fix what needs to be fixed, and deliver. Believe or not, there might be people there expecting for this work to be completed and waiting to use it.

Regards,

Dan

OK, I think that I got now your issue. Getting back to your proposal:

Two things need to be clarified here:

- instead of saying 'the alarm was reported' we need to say 'the alarm was reported or retrieved', in order to accommodate agent implementations that are based on a polling model rather than asynchronous reports from an other subsystem
- need to define the behavior of an agent an agent that cannot retrieve accurately the time the error occurred. I am not sure how to do this. We might need to add another variable that describes whether this capability exists in the system, or invent another TC like DateAndTimeOrZero.

Dan

On behalf of the IETF disman working group, I'd like to thank you
for the helpful input from SG 4.   We'll take these comments into
account as we produce our next revision to the draft.  Of course,
comments from the individual SG 4 participants are always welcome
on our mailing list.  Again, thank you (and SG 4) for taking the
time to review our work.

Bert, Randy, Randy,

In Bert's email below he raised an issue that SG 4 addressed at its
meeting that concluded on Friday. The SG 4 input is presented below
Bert's email and also attached as a Word document. I have also copied
this email to the IETF email address for communication statements from
other organizations.

Chairman, ITU-T SG 4

TITLE:	Additional input regarding the use of  M.3100 probable causes for
the ITU Alarm MIB
_____________

COMMUNICATION STATEMENT

TO:	IETF disman WG

APPROVAL:	Agreed to at STUDY GROUP 4 MEETING 

FOR:	ACTIOND

EADLINE:	January 1,  2003

Acting Rapporteur, Question 19/4

At the ITU-T Study Group 4 meeting in April 2002, we have examined
version 6 of the IETF Alarm MIB focusing of course on those aspects
related to the ITU-T SG 4 Recommendations and offer the following
comments:

- We have examined version 6 of the Alarm MIB
(draft-ietf-disman-alarm-mib-06) and noted your incorporation of the
M.3100 probable causes semantics. We thank you for that action in
response to our July 2001 communication statement.

- If you recall, in our July 2001 communication statement, we suggested
the need for some extensibility mechanism and also we have been made
aware that probable cause semantics other than that from the ITU-T are
being reviewed, presumably for possible inclusion. We have discussed the
possible impact of the latter and have come to the following
conclusions:

1) While we value the identical number assignments for the M.3100
probable causes, regardless of the number assignments, we believe the
ITU-T semantics are the most important aspect to retain.

2) Though M.3100 is currently using less than 256 probable causes, there
is a likelihood that additional values will be needed.  (The M.3100
syntax of ASN.1 INTEGER is, of course, able to support larger values.)

3) We have noted in section 5.2 that you have specified an
IANAItuProbableCause textual convention apparently dedicated to the
ITU-T probable causes and support that separation from any other
probable cause asssignments. To ensure that separation, we recommend
that the first paragraph of section 5.2 be replaced with the following
text:

"Values of IANAItuProbableCause can only be given out if they correspond
to ITU probable causes semantics present in ITU-T Recommendations and
are agreed to by the disman working group."

We believe this text reflects the fact that this textual convention is
limited to representing the ITU semantics while at the same time
identifying the IETF as the owner of the alarm MIB. Other textual
conventions would be presumably required to define the semantics and
number assignments of other probable causes. 

4) To assist the reader of the current specification, we recommend the
replacement of the DESCRIPTION text with the following text: " ITU
probable cause values for alarms are currently assigned as per
M.3100-1995 (1-254), X.733-1992 (256-287), and X.736-1992 (288-303)." 

5) We also note that code 158 (reinitialized) is missing.

We would be grateful if you would keep us informed of your progress on
this topic.

Randy,

Update to the ARC is now available. It follows the proposal to narrow the
scope of the document to ARC only. It is done by extracting the ARC mib
portion from draft-ietf-disman-conditionmib-02.txt. 

Before I upload it, I have a question that need you guidance. What should
the title and file name of this document be?
In order not to be confused with the condition mib portion in
draft-ietf-disman-conditionmib-02.txt, should the updated ARC document be
"ARC MIB" and with file name draft-ietf-disman-arcmib-00.txt ?

Regards,
Kam

The file name should be draft-ietf-disman-conditionmib-02.txt
(my files show draft-ietf-disman-conditionmib-01.txt as the
latest thing published) and the title should be "Alarm Report
Control MIB".  When you send it to internet-drafts@ietf.org,
please note the title change and provide an updated abstract
for the announcement.

I do NOT want to start another document series.

Does this reply indicate that you prefer two timestamps over some other solution to fix this problem?

Instead of saying 'the alarm was reported' or 'the alarm was reported or retrieved', how about 'the error information was populated in the alarm table'?  I say this because I think maybe the notion of time retrieved would be confusing in a multi-manager environment.

For systems that cannot either produce and/or store error occurance timestamps, how about setting the time the error occurred equal to the time the alarm information was added to the alarm table?

Randy,
If I understand your proposal correctly, it seems to me also that 1) meets the identified
need  better and provides a cleaner separation of the alarm and condition (or is it now
called error?) MIBs.

I can't speak for Dan, but my point was that the information
recording when the condition was detected would already be present
in the variable bindings, so that there's no need for a second object.

Why would we need to support such a beast?  A notification by
definition includes a timestamp.  Take a look at the agentx
protocol spec.  Infrastructure lacking this information is
arguably broken.

I apologize that I don't understand your point.  Are you saying that the timestamp used
for the index should be the 'time that the error information was added to the alarm table'
and that the 'time the error occured' would be in the variable bindings?  Or are you
saying that there doesn't need to be a timestamp for the time the error information was
added into the active alarm table?

Clarify for me - what I think you are saying here is that all 'subagents' and 'agents'
have the capability (memory and clock) to support the recording and reporting the time of
the occurance of every error.  Is that correct?  If so, then I agree that Dan should not
worry about what to do if such capability does not exist.

This makes the most sense to me.

No.  I think both pieces of information are interesting.  I'm
just saying that we don't need to objects, because the timestamp
indicating when the error occured will be in the variable bindings
anyway.

...

Just think about it from an AgentX perspective: the protocol is
specifically designed so that subagents will know their sysUpTime,
and the text on notifications specifically provides for the
communication of the time stamp.  If the subagent omits the
sysUpTime variable binding, the elements of procedure specifically
provide for the master agent to provide the appropriate one for
the context, which would be a perfectly reasonable fallback
for an active alarm MIB to use when the "real" time of the
failure isn't known.

...

I'd like to get a sense of the working group on what the
scope of "probableCause" should be:

	a) ITU's M.3100's probable causes
	b) ITU's X.733's probable causes
	c) ITU's future probable causes
	d) DMTF's CIM's probable causes
	e) DMTF's future probable causes
	f) IETF's future probable causes

Based on the history of this work, (a), (b), and (c) 
make sense in the architecture which separates "generic" alarm
management from "specific" models, such as ITU's.

As the document is currently constituted, we're closer to
having all of (a) through (f).  If this is the direction
we're headed, then it may make sense to re-label some items
to reflect the broader scope, while retaining the references
that make it clear that supporting the full range of ITU
probable cause semantics is an objective.

Based on this experience, would you recommend changes to the

Consider the case where the ifStackTable is used to associate
DS0s with their underlying T1.  For something on interface
1 to potentially clear the alarms on interfaces 2 through 25
does not seem far-fetched.  However, do we see this as being
within the scope of this MIB?

...

As a technical contributor, I think we do indeed need sysUpTime,
for the reasons mentioned on the thread regarding the distinction
between the time when the problem was detected and the time when
the active alarm came into being, unless we break that information
into a separate object.

As a technical contributor, I agree with the rationale, but
would prefer a slightly different solution.  Specifically,
I'd like to see notifications, regardless of the protocols
(remember, these things may have "arrived" over SMUX, AgentX,
or any number of proprietary mechanisms) treated *as though*
they were v2, in accordance with the philosophy/rules in
RFC 2576.  I think this would ultimately simplify things for
both the manager and for the agent infrastructure, since the
same transformations are necessary for RFC 2573 notification
forwarding / filtering and for access control to work anyway.

HI,

The example below is interesting, but I'm talking about something
really basic. Lets assume we are using unique notifications
for "state transitions". Then the model table (alarmModelTable)
maps notifications to "next state" severity levels of alarms.
Assume the value for alarmListName is the zero length string.

Say, we have alarm "A", that is identified with value 23
as specified for index object alarmModelIndex, and has
the following assignments for values for perceived severity
and notifications:
  clear - notification n1 is sent
  minor - notification n2 is sent
  critical - critical n3 is sent
The three objects alarmModelNotificationId, alarmModelVarbindIndex,
and alarmModelVarbindValue perform the mapping. However, how the
code would determine the value of "alarmActiveResourceId" from
the notifications is not described. If this mapping is "hard
coded", so new entries could not be created in table alarmModelTable,
then the problem is solved. But if so, then I'm note sure
why we need the model table.

Much simpler than your example.  ;-)

The question about how the

...

Agreed.  This is a problem.

Summing up, we have similar concerns about the alarmModelTable.
A partial list, paraphrasing (or possibly reading too much
into) your posts:

   1) how does it the implementation figure out where to get
      the value for alarmActiveResourceId?  (The information
      has to be in the notification somewhere, but how does
      the alarmModelTable tell the implementation where to
      look?)

   2) what is the appropriate amount of power for describing
      the "finite state machine" for an alarm?

   3) can a single notification "crank" more than one alarm's
      state machine?  (This is tied to (1))

I am not convinced that there is a problem, or at least that this problem exists for all implementation models. However I would be ready to accomodate the solution that you are proposing, in  order to avoid blocking thw advancement of this work. 

I would like to hear more opinions. Randy seems to indicate that he does not think that the second object is necessary, though I am not dure that I completely digested his reference to agentx, which also hints to (another) specific way of implementing the distribution.

Dan

Randy,
Thanks for the clarification. Sounds fine to me.

Just one question.  See below.

What would be the appropriate one in this case?

Hi!
I have problems with the RMON example and some of the issues I think is
connected to what Perkins describe.
1) In general the example is a little bit strange since it does not use
fallingAlarm and risingAlarm
as alarm on/off notifications.

2) However the more general question is:
Lets say I define two alarms in the RMON alarmTable:
alarmVariable X, risingThreshold 10, fallingthreshold 8
alarmVariable Y, risingThreshold 20, fallingthreshold 16

In this case it is extremely important that fallingAlarm Threshold on Y
does not clear any active alarm on X.
How do we describe that? Miss something in the alarmModelTable to point to
resource var-bind in case the generic notifications are not used.
(Resembles Perkins ifIndex example). What is the conclusion on the
previous issue here?

3) Minor error in 6.1 Alarms Based on linkUp/linkDown Notification
 alarmActiveModelPointer          alarmModelEntry.3 <<<<<<<<<<<<<< missing
index

HI,

The example below is interesting, but I'm talking about something
really basic. Lets assume we are using unique notifications
for "state transitions". Then the model table (alarmModelTable)
maps notifications to "next state" severity levels of alarms.
Assume the value for alarmListName is the zero length string.

Say, we have alarm "A", that is identified with value 23
as specified for index object alarmModelIndex, and has
the following assignments for values for perceived severity
and notifications:
  clear - notification n1 is sent
  minor - notification n2 is sent
  critical - critical n3 is sent
The three objects alarmModelNotificationId, alarmModelVarbindIndex,
and alarmModelVarbindValue perform the mapping. However, how the
code would determine the value of "alarmActiveResourceId" from
the notifications is not described. If this mapping is "hard
coded", so new entries could not be created in table alarmModelTable,
then the problem is solved. But if so, then I'm note sure
why we need the model table.

If there is nothing in the payload from the subagent,
the AgentX specification requires the use of sysUpTime.0
from the named context.  I don't see why we'd want to
do anything else.

The subagent protocols I am familiar with provide the ability
for the subagent to include event time information.  However,
this information would be lost if the sysUpTime varbind is
not retained in the varbind table.

Here are the alternatives I see:

    1) the distinction is not interesting.  we can
       omit the variable binding from the varbind table,
       and do not need an object to represent the event
       time.

    2) the distinction is interesting, but is not so
       important as to merit a special object.  we can
       cover this case simply by including the sysUpTime
       variable binding in the varbind table.

    3) the distinction is so interesting that it merits
       an object of its own.

I lean towards (2), but am willing to listen to reason,
particularly since (2) does have problems in the face of
sysUpTime discontinuities.

I agree that there's a problem.  For this to work as intended,
the resource needs to be identified.  At the moment, this looks
like magic.  Perhaps some of the tricks from the expression
MIB or the snmpconf work might be appropriate.

My understanding is that an active alarm entry would be
created in each list which had at least one model entry
matching the notification.

> How and why named lists are used is not shown.

I assumed they were to support multiple communities of
interest, perhaps with different access rights.

> Also, it seems kind of redundant that the model table is indexed

There is an access control issue here.  If we don't want the
active alarm table to leak information about notifications,
we need to ensure that stuff gets put into that table only
if that table's "owner" would have been permitted to get
the notification.  (This is the same set of issues that
went into the security considerations for the log mib.)
Since the model table "sees" the notifications, only
stuff which has already been approved for access should
be processed in accordance with the models specified in it.
This strongly suggests that the models should be kept separate.

> Could an example be shown that demonstrated how named model and
> active lists were used together.
...

I like this suggestion, but would hope that it would flow
naturally from any of the other examples.

HI,

The alarm draft has the tables indexed by object alarmListName.

However, I cannot figure out how notifications are classified
so that they use appropriate entries in tables based on the
value of alarmListName. That is, what is the classifier from
notifications to values of alarmListName? And how is this
configured?

PS Randy - feel free to restate this as a clearer and simpler 
   question.

Regards,
/david t. perkins

I think alarmListName has nothing to do with alarm classification.

Here's a not-very-useful example of how I think it's supposed
to work. If I configure the same models under three different
alarmListNames, and if access control policy permits, then I
would expect that for any active alarm entry existing under
one of the alarmListNames, there should be corresponding
entries under both of the other alarmListNames.

In short, it's to support sandboxing the users of the
alarm facility.  One *could* in a really twisted way use it
for alarm classification (different models under different
alarmListNames corresponding to alarm classification), but
I don't think that that's the motivation for it.

(Of course, I could have completely misunderstood the
whole thing.  :-)

HI,

I was first trying to get clarification on the "simpler" of the three
ways that alarms are defined. If this could be clarified, then
the other two ways might be obvious.

The first was via "existing" notifications. The second was via
the two new notifications (alarmActiveState and alarmClearState).
The third is via internal mechanisms (that is, alarmModelNotificationId
has the value { 0 0 }).

Did I get this correct?

One of the fundamental goals of the I-D appears to me to use the
existing notifications generated by a system, and to create a
system that mapped these existing notifications to alarm raises
(with configured severity) or to alarm clears.
How this is done doesn't seem complete to me.

That's what the draft seems to say.
I think the second is a special case of the first,
and the third just looks like magic.

Yup, I'm inclined to agree.

Hi -

As a technical contributor, for the sake of discussion I'd like to
suggest thinking about slightly different approach to the problem
of making the alarm models more explicit.

First, a slightly different information flow would eliminate
any "specialness" from the processing of the alarmActive/Clear
notifications, and allow the alarm processing module to be
built from the same components (including access control)
as one would need to support logging.

                 (internal)
                notification
                  stream

                V
          "wire" notifications


Secondly, I'd suggest a slightly different way of handling the
"alarm modeling".  Although this may seem more elaborate than
the current i-d, I think it has the advantage of requiring
no magic at all.

The current alarmModelTable I would replace with three
tables: AlarmKind, AlarmKindStates, and AlarmKindPatterns.
Each entry in AlarmKind identifies a particular alarm type
that is of interest.  The set of entries in AlarmKindStates
corresponding to a particular entry in AlarmKind defines all of
the states in that particular alarm's FSM.  AlarmKindPatterns
defines the patterns of interest in the notification stream.
A particular notification may cause any number of patterns
to "fire".  The indexing structure associates patterns
with the defined states for the various defined alarm
types. Each pattern definition includes rules for extracting
instance identification information from the notification.
When a pattern associated with a particular alarm kind in a
particular state for a particular resource fires, either an
existing active alarm will be transitioned to a new state,
or if appropriate, a new active alarm will be created.

AlarmKind ---+---> AlarmKindState ----+---> AlarmKindPattern
             +---> AlarmKindState     +---> AlarmKindPattern
             +---> ...                +---> ...

A particular active alarm could be matched back to its
AlarmKind and AlarmKindState.  Given an AlarmKind and
AlarmKindState, one could consult the AlarmKindPatterns
to figure out the possibilities for the next transition.

A sketch:

AlarmKind[Owner, AlarmKind]
        - RowStatus, StorageType
        - description of alarm for humans
        - +/- enabled (this kind of alarm)
        - +/- notify on raise 
        - +/- notify on clear 
        - an entry in this table describes a particular kind
          of alarm that is being modeled.

AlarmKindStates[Owner, AlarmKind, StateNumber]
        - description of particular node in alarm's state machine
        - RowStatus, StorageType
        - +/- notify on entering this state
        - +/- notify on leaving this state

(Having both the AlarmKind and AlarmKindStates notification enablers
is overkill.  I think just having the enables on AlarmKind is sufficient,
but folks interested in escalation might argue otherwise.)

AlarmKindPatterns[Owner, AlarmKind, StateNumber, PatternNumber]
        - entries in this table describe the patterns in the
          notification stream that can trigger state transitions
          for the various kinds of alarms that are of interest.
          When a notification matches the pattern described in
          an entry in this table, the resource identification
          information is extracted (see below), and if an Active
          Alarm of this AlarmKind for the identified resource
          exists and its sate matches StateNumber, then the
          active alarm will be transitioned to "nextState".

          If StateNumber is 0 (reserved for "clear"), a match
          will cause creation of a new active alarm of this
          kind for the extracted resource id.

        - Notification OID matching rule
        - varbind matching
                - if any varbind is in subtree of given oid
                  (0.0 means don't care)
        - resource id extraction use context from notification,
          and define a small number of objects
          to control choice of:
                - spliced object id: extract index part of
                  varbind name (subtree of given OID), tack
                  onto another oid base.
                - object id if varbind is in subtree of given oid
                  (this is special case of previous one)
                - object id of resource specified in model
                - value of a matching varbind (of type oid)
                - etc.
        - nextState, 0 for clear
        - RowStatus, StorageType

What are important differences from current id?
   1) explicit rules for resource id extraction, part of
      notification pattern matching
   2) permits multiple notification types to trigger
      a given transition in state machine
   3) varbind processing is *not* positional

This model permits powerful extensions with relatively little
effort.  For example, aging, escalation, and supplemental varbinds
would all be done with simple extensions of these tables.

Just a (lengthy) thought.

HI,

Randy - thanks for the assistance. More comments on it after I've read
through it thoroughly.  

Just a few now...
1) this, like the previous one seems to want to use the existing
   notification mechanisms. However, there are problems, because
   some notification definitions require that the code that
   internally generates calls to the API to the SNMP engine to
   distribute the notification MUST rate-limit the calls to the
   API. If so, you may not see all alarms (you don't see the
   raise), and more importantly you don't see the clear.
2) the picture below (I believe) incorrect in describing the flow
   from the engine API. The notification table from the
   notification MIB module is first consulted, not the targets
   table from the target MIB module. Not sure that the notification
   log MIB module fits where you have placed it. So, not sure
   that all of the plumbing results in water with pressure where
   you want it instead of water on the floor.

3) It sort of seemed to me that if this system was to use the
   existing notification stream, that the system would convert
   existing notifications to new notifications that were 
   "alarm reports". And if one was to follow the ITU module,
   then the 10s of IETF notifications and 100s of vendor
   notifications would be converted to one the four ITU
   alarm reports (ignoring the security ones for now).
   (For example, a potential linkDown would be converted
   into a "communicationsAlarm notification" and it sent
   out, and not the linkDown notification. If so, how is
   this done? Otherwise, on alarms a manager would receive
   the original notification and the alarm notification
   (if these were not filtered by the notification
    filters specified in RFC 2573.)

To some extent, the condition MIB would have provided a little
help here.  However, I agree that the way rate-limiting has
been formulated at the notification-type definition level is a
problem for us, and I don't see any good way around it without
pushing active alarm objects closer to the instrumentation
implementation, which would bring with it a whole different
set of really ugly problems.  I suspect this is just a problem
we'll have to live with.  I wonder about just how significant
a problem it would be in operation.

Occasionally the question of a general solution to the rate-
limiting problem resurfaces.  I think it'd be interesting
to speculate on how things would behave if we had done it
at the same point in the processing flow as the RFC 2573
notification mib.

My error.  Swap the Notification and Target MIB labels in
the ASCII art and it should suddenly make *much* more sense.

This is a question of goals.  I believe the goal is to provide
objects corresponding to the current set of "active alarms"
in a system, rather than mapping notifications into a stream
that would look more like X.733.

My recollection from one of our many meetings in Minneapolis
was that we hoped that such "generic alarm notification types"
suitable for massive re-use would end up in the ARC document.

David,

I am not sure what you are asking here. The object that is being used for the mapping is alarmModelNotificationId. What is not complete?

You started with a different question, concerning alarm classification which Randy addressed correctly.

Dan

This is a good one. The way it can be solved without too much magic being involved is to add an object to the alarmModelTable that would help distinguish between the two different alarms in the RMON alarmTable, for example by pointing to the specific index. The question is whether we cam make it generic enough, but not too complex to look like magic, or maybe the RMON case is important enough to have something specifically targeting RMON.

Hi,
maybe I'm simplifying things but the addition of a row to alarmModelTable 
specifying which var-bind of the alarmModelNotificationId carries the 
resourceid.

The general rule in the mgmt app:
same alarm id AND same resource id -> correlate alarm and alarm clear.

Assumption: alarm id is modelled/used fine-grained so that different event 
types and probable cause have different alarm id's.
In X733 alarm conceptual model an alarm raise and alarm clear is correlated if 
they have same:
-eventtype
-probablecause
-object

The resource identifier to use in this case would be a reference to the 
alarmTable row, (note, not the value of the alarmVariable since we can have 
several measurements on the same alarmVariable).
This is carried by var-bind 1 in risingAlarm, oops, an index variable. Does not 
matter could as well use var-bind 2 since it would embed the index.

regards Stefan

Our Statistics:

Do I really want my current counts to wrap?  Is it better 
falsely show my current major alarm count to be 4294967295
or 3?

Hi,

The object alarmActiveStatsTotalActive should be a counter and
not a Gauge32. Note that the following objects are correctly
specified as counters:
    ituAlarmActiveStatsIndeterminateTotal
    ituAlarmActiveStatsCriticalTotal     
    ituAlarmActiveStatsMajorTotal        
    ituAlarmActiveStatsMinorTotal        
    ituAlarmActiveStatsWarningTotal

I think it is important to discuss what these numbers really
model. Let me pick an example:

   ituAlarmActiveStatsIndeterminateCurrent OBJECT-TYPE
      SYNTAX      Gauge32
      MAX-ACCESS  read-only
      STATUS      current
      DESCRIPTION
          "A count of the current number of active alarms with a
           ituAlarmPerceivedSeverity of indeterminate."
      ::= { ituAlarmActiveStatsEntry 1 }

   ituAlarmActiveStatsIndeterminateTotal OBJECT-TYPE
      SYNTAX      Counter32
      MAX-ACCESS  read-only
      STATUS      current
      DESCRIPTION
          "A count of the total number of active alarms with a
           ituAlarmPerceivedSeverity of indeterminate since system
           restart."
      ::= { ituAlarmActiveStatsEntry 6 }

I am not 100% sure I understand the descriptions correctly. Perhaps
you mean:

   ituAlarmActiveStatsIndeterminateCurrent OBJECT-TYPE
      SYNTAX      Gauge32
      MAX-ACCESS  read-only
      STATUS      current
      DESCRIPTION
          "A current number of active alarms with a
           ituAlarmPerceivedSeverity of indeterminate."
      ::= { ituAlarmActiveStatsEntry 1 }

   ituAlarmActiveStatsIndeterminateTotal OBJECT-TYPE
      SYNTAX      Counter32
      MAX-ACCESS  read-only
      STATUS      current
      DESCRIPTION
          "A count of active alarms with a ituAlarmPerceivedSeverity 
           of indeterminate since system restart."
      ::= { ituAlarmActiveStatsEntry 6 }

These descritions would be clearer to me and with them, I would agree
that Gauge32 and Counter32 are used properly.

HI,

Yes, it all depends on the semantics. Also note that if you read the MIB
module further, there are other objects with similar descriptions that
are counters.

I think the concern is this:

  - notification arrives
  - the implementation searches the alarmModelTable 
    to find any entries where alarmModelNotificationId matches
    the notification that arrived
  - from each of these entries, we extract the tuple
    <alarmListName, alarmModelIndex> and alarmModelState
  - we now search the alarmActiveTable, looking for any
    active alarms matching <alarmListName, alarmModelIndex> so
    we can apply the new alarmModelState to them.  There's just
    one problem.  We should only apply this to ones with the
    "right" alarmActiveResourceId. This is the part of the
    mapping process that's not complete.

It's misleading to quote just this without also including RFC 2578
sections 7.1.6 and 7.1.7 which give the full story.

This is as it should be.

...

The "current" ones, since they can go up or down, should
be Gauges.  The "total" ones, since they must be able to
eventually wrap to support long-term tracking, should be
Counters.  There's no "falsely" about it.  Management software
that's reporting counter values is supposed to know about RFC
2578 section 7.1.6.  To avoid confusing application developers
that haven't read the SMI, perhaps "Total" could be changed
to "Cumulative" or simply "s".

A gentle reminder:  adminstrative requests for ietf mailing lists
generally go to <list-name>-request@wherever.  In this case,
the correct address is:  disman-request@dorothy.bmc.com

As a public service, I've already removed george_tristan@agilent.com.

hi

You would model them with different values for alarmModelState.
The downside of this is that you may be artificially implying 
that these equivalent states have different severity, but I 
think this is balanced by the upside of keeping the model 
simple. It's the raise/clear relationship that is most 
important in practice.

HI,

What if there are more than one notification type that causes
a change to the same state? The alarm model table doesn't
seem to support this. How is this done?

hi

Currently it is assumed that the implementer has some
knowledge of the notification being used in the model.
Of course if they are using the provided notifications,
the resource ID is in a well defined spot within the
notification, but can take any value.

I don't know how practical it would be to even try
and provide a standardized mechanism to identify
where in a notification the resource information will
be stored. My feeling is not very.

Perhaps the best solution would be to add some clarifying
text to the document.

The question about how the

...

Agreed.  This is a problem.

Summing up, we have similar concerns about the alarmModelTable.
A partial list, paraphrasing (or possibly reading too much
into) your posts:

   1) how does it the implementation figure out where to get
      the value for alarmActiveResourceId?  (The information
      has to be in the notification somewhere, but how does
      the alarmModelTable tell the implementation where to
      look?)

   2) what is the appropriate amount of power for describing
      the "finite state machine" for an alarm?

   3) can a single notification "crank" more than one alarm's
      state machine?  (This is tied to (1))

HI,

Randy summarized the process below, when notifications are used to
raise and clear alarms. But, my interpretation of the I-D is that
two other mechanisms can also be used to raise and clear alarms.
If this interpretation is correct, then for them, would also like
to see the logic similar to what Randy has written below.

hi

My recollection is that hierarchical clearing was defined
out of scope. It could always be supported as an add-on
at a later date with a mechanism something like a 
hierarchicalClearTable that associated a clearNotification 
with a list of alarmModels.

HI,

Yes, its obvious to human readers (and, of course, I gave an example
that should be well understood). But, if arbitrary notifications
that are well defined for human readers are configured, how is the
code that determines the value of alarmActiveResourceId suppose to
figure this out? It seems like a little bit of magic for code.

Also, in re-reading X.733/ISO-10164-3, it appears that there can be
the cases:
 1) multiple active alarms on the same instance
 2) multiple correlated active alarms
in which one clear notification causes all to clear.

How is this specified in the model table?

Thanks for the explanation.

The thing that I keep tripping over is that alarmModelState
is the *next* state rather than the *current* state in the FSM.

(Folks who implement FSMs are accustomed to representing
FSMs as arrays, where one dimension of the array is "current
state", and the other dimension of the array is "event", and
the array content holds any actions to be taken as well as
identification of the "next state".  Treating "next state"
as an array dimension rather than as content takes some
getting used to, and may be contributing to the confusion.)

As WG chair I'd like a consensus check on this point, since
it clearly has significant impact on both the document and
implementations.  The Question:

   Shall we require implementations of this MIB to have
   built-in knowledge of know how to extract resource IDs
   from all the notification types they might encounter?
   (rather than representing how the resource ID is to be
   extracted in the MIB)

Thanks Randy, for making this clear. This swap needs to be done in the ASCII art in Section 3.3 of the draft.

The alarmAccessResourceId is known by the agent, because it is keeping an internal accounting of who the sends that need to be include in the alarmActiveTable. The agent will perform the matching of the respective resource (id information contained in the notification) to the relevant row(s) in the table. There is no need to duplicate this information in another MIB object.

I assumed this is clear (probably part of the magic;-). If I am wrong appropriate text can be added.

Regards,

Dan

Clarifying text in the doc will certainly be good (it
will help towards a consistent implementation). I don't think
a standardized mechanism is needed.

Just my 2 cents,

WG chair wondering aloud: if the WG consensus is to go
with requiring implementations to know a priori how to
extract resource IDs from notifications (I'm awaiting
response to consensus call on *that*), and since what
one needs to do to extract a resource ID from a notification
depends on the notification type, do we need to specify
the set of NOTIFICATION-TYPEs that MUST be understood by
a conformant implementation, and do we need to specify
how the resource ID extraction works for these?

...

I believe he is referring to the three mechanisms specified in
4.1.3's second paragraph.

|4.1.3 Alarm State Transition Notification
|
|   Alarms are modelled by defining all possible states in the
|   alarmModelTable, as well as defining alarmModelNotificationId,
|   alarmModelVarbindIndex, and alarmModelVarbindValue for each of the
|   possible alarm states.  Optionally, ituAlarmPerceivedSeverity models
|   the states in terms of ITU perceived severity.
|
|   Alarm state transitions can use existing notifications or can use
|   the generic notifications and alarmActiveState and alarmClearState.
|   If the implementation chooses not to alert the management station,
|   then a value of 0.0 can be used for alarmModelNotificationId.
|   Alternatively, a notification can be defined in
|   alarmModeNotifiationId and no hosts specified in the SNMP-TARGET-MIB
|   [RFC2573].

As a technical contributor, I think the second looks like a
special case of the first, and the third appears to me to be
total magic.

HI,

for your question...

At 03:06 AM 4/25/2002 +0300, Romascanu, Dan (Dan) wrote:
>What are the two other mechanisms? Dan

In section 3.2.2, Flexible Alarm Modeling, look at the 3rd paragraph
that starts with
   Alarm states can be modelled using traditional notifications,
   generic alarm notifications, or without notifications.

Note that it doesn't seem like the picture in section 3.3 matches the
content of the above paragraph.

Was hoping someone would provide this - as I'm scratching
my head about how to go about it.

Maybe I start to understand. It looks to me that in all this discussion there is a confusion between the notifications that are received by an agent and need to be interpreted as an alarm condition and the notifications that are being sent by the agent when a change in the alarm state occurs. 

4.1.3 describes the notifications that may be sent by the agent that supports the Alarm MIB.

Dan

Why should it? The agent either knows how to populate the alarmActiveResourceId object, or it does not. The MIB structure does just that - passes alarms and identifies resources described by the OID. The 'magic' of populating the tables are not within the scope of the generic alarm model.

Dave,

I think that you are confusing here between the notifications that are being sent by the Alarm MIB agent, and the conditions that lead to the activeAlarmTable being populated. 3.2.2 refers to the first, while 3.3 refer to the later.

Probably the text in 3.2.2 may benefit from some further clarification to avoid confusion.

Regards,

Dan

would be glad to spare you the scratching ;-)

it would not be a problem to specify such a mapping. Avoiding to do this is by design. A generic agent needs not understand the semantics of the alarms. Some agent implementations do not use notifications to populate the alarmActiveTable. If you want to 'hard code' such a mapping you may do it in the model specific Alarm MIB.

This provides no assurance that different implementations would
exhibit similar behaviour.  I think interoperability would suffer.
When a management application creates entries in the AlarmModelTable,
does it receive any indication at all regarding whether the MIB
implementation will know what to do with them, or that what one
implementation will use as a resource identification algorithm
will produce the same results as any other implementations?

Ok, now I'm really lost.  The only way that I can imagine
a generic implementation doing resource id extraction is to
provide some MIB objects that control how the extraction
is to be performed for the notification types of interest.
Forgive my lack of imagination, but without such objects,
I don't see how a generic, magic-free implementation of the
current MIB is possible.

Hi -

As a technical contributor, I think some security issues in
draft-ietf-disman-alarm-mib-06.txt need to be addressed.

   1) To prevent the alarm MIB from becoming a backdoor for
      circumventing access control on information carried
      in notifications.  Something similar to the language
      in RFC 3014 section 2.1.2 is needed.  Proposed text:

   Security for alarms is awkward since access control for the objects
   in the underlying notifications can be checked only where the
   notification is created.  Thus such checking is possible only for
   locally-generated notifications, and even then only when security
   credentials are available.

   For the purpose of this discussion, "security credentials" means
   the input values for the abstract service interface function
   isAccessAllowed [RFC2571] and using those credentials means
   conceptually using that function to see that those credentials
   allow access to the MIB objects in question, operating as for a
   Notification Originator in [RFC2573].

   The Alarm MIB has the notion of a named alarm list.  By using
   alarm list names and view-based access control [RFC2575] a network
   administrator can provide different access for different users.
   When an application creates an alarm model (indexed in part by the
   alarm list name) the security credentials of the creator remain
   associated with that alarm model and constrain what information is
   allowed to be placed in the active alarm table, the active alarm
   variable table, the cleared alarm table, and the ITU alarm table.

   When processing locally-generated Notifications, the managed
   system MUST use the security credentials associated with
   that each alarm model respectively, and MUST apply the
   same access control rules as described for a Notification
   Originator in [RFC2573].

   The managed system SHOULD NOT apply access control when
   processing remotely-generated Notifications using the alarm
   models.  In those cases the security of the information
   in the alarm tables SHOULD be left to the normal, overall
   access control for those tables.

 -=-=-=-=-=-

To fit this in with the overall processing flow established by
the work on RFC 3014, I think some additional changes to the
diagram in section 3.3 of draft-ietf-disman-alarm-mib-06.txt
are necessary.  Thes will:

   2) To permit implementations to take full advantage of
      the RFC 2573 filtering infrastructure

   3) To keep the semantics of alarmListName in this mib and
      nlmLogName in RFC 3014 consistent.

The modified diagram would look something like:

Note that there are really only two changes to the
existing diagram:  (1) swapping the SNMP-TARGET-MIB and
SNMP-NOTIFICATION-MIB labels, which has already been
agreed on this list, and (2) feeding the output of the
SNMP-NOTIFICATION-MIB to alarm processing (just like the
log MIB), rather than having the alarm processing "tap"
the inputs into the SNMP-NOTIFICATION-MIB.

If the implementation does not know what to do with an entry in the AlarmModelTable it should reject the row creation. This needs to be documented, if it was not clear. It can happen even if an algorithmic mechanism to extract resource ID from notifications is being defined.

hi

I know I have not sent out the updated issues list yet, but
the following is issue is being tracked as #40

Alarm #40 Identify where to find resource identifier (in notification)
          when defining alarm model

I had previously said that I did not think it would be practical to
completely solve this problem. Now I think a mechanism like the
following is simple, but goes a long way:

    alarmModelResourceIdentifiers OBJECT-TYPE 
        SYNTAX BITS                  
        ACCESS read-only 
        DESCRIPTION 
            "This object identifies which varbinds within 
             the notification identified by alarmModelNotificationId 
             are used to uniquely identify this resource.

           For SNMPv1 traps, a 1 indicates the first varbind. For
           NOTIFICATION-TYPE, a 1 indicates the first real varbind
           after the required varbinds of sysUptime and SNMPTrapOID." 
        ::= { alarmModelEntry X } 

I suspect, for completeness, it would also need some discussion about 
identifying the host portion of the resource.

HI,

While I defer judgement on whether this approach works, I do believe
that the DESCRIPTION text needs an some updates.
1) It repeats a common terminology confusion....
   notifications, defined using the NOTIFICATION-TYPE construct, are
   sent using the TRAP PDU type in SNMPv1, or the v2TRAP and INFORM
   PDU types in SNMPv2c and SNMPv3. (That is, saying NOTIFICATION-TYPE
   in the text below is just incorrect terminology usage. And I believe
   that Sharon understands the technology, but I wish she would
   get her fingers trained to type out the appropriate terminology.)
2) The object uses the BITS pseudo type to select 0, 1, or more items
   in the varBind list. The bits in the BITS type are numbered
   starting at zero. Because of this, the DESCRIPTION text may
   confuse the reader, since it talks about numbering from one.
   Also, I'm pretty interested in the choice of BITS instead of
   using unsigned to choose a single item in the varBind list.
   The DESCRIPTION text didn't really address this.

In general, is the algorithm for determining resourceID something
like the following:
  Check to see if the variable is a column in one of the
  tables that the implementation has support for, such as
  a column in the ifTable. If so, then really don't need to
  have any knowledge about the notification. All that is
  needed is to transform the variable to a canonical variable
  that would be used for the resourceID. For example,
  variable ifAdminStatus.23 (in a notification), would be
  converted to ifIndex.23 for the value of resourceID.
 
Please let us know in detail how you envision the algorithm
to function.

Yes, I caught the second one after I sent the email. I thought I
cut and paste the text for the first point from the corrected text,
but apparently I did not - oops. I'd be sure to fix both if we 
decide to go this route. I'm just trying to see if people like
the general approach.

<Dave Perkins>
In general, is the algorithm for determining resourceID something
like the following:
  Check to see if the variable is a column in one of the
  tables that the implementation has support for, such as
  a column in the ifTable. If so, then really don't need to
  have any knowledge about the notification. All that is
  needed is to transform the variable to a canonical variable
  that would be used for the resourceID. For example,
  variable ifAdminStatus.23 (in a notification), would be
  converted to ifIndex.23 for the value of resourceID.

Please let us know in detail how you envision the algorithm
to function.
</Dave Perkins>

Actually, I'm suggesting something quite different from
what you are describing.

What I'm suggesting is replacing the assumption that users
know what varbinds in a notification identify the resource,
with a bitmap that tells them.  Notifications without resource
identifiers are today treated as alarms against the device,
and under this scheme I would see this as having a value of
0, or nothing set, for alarmModelResourceIdentifiers.

The user knows which varbinds identify the resource under
alarm and can then correlate between raise/clear instances
without having to understand the content of the fields.

Some examples:

1.  linkDown would set bit 0, to point at ifIndex

   Once you have matched against the correct alarm model,
   you just check alarmActiveVariable*.1 to see if it
   matches notification.varbind.1 

   linkDown NOTIFICATION-TYPE
           OBJECTS { ifIndex, ifAdminStatus, ifOperStatus }
           STATUS  current
           DESCRIPTION
               "A linkDown trap signifies that the SNMPv2 entity,
               acting in an agent role, has detected that the
               ifOperStatus object for one of its communication links
               is about to enter the down state from some other state
               (but not from the notPresent state).  This other state
               is indicated by the included value of ifOperStatus."
       ::= { snmpTraps 3 }

2. mplsTunnelUp would set bit 0 and 1 (and 2 and 3
   if these next two parameters are part of identifying
   the resource - I'd have to read the MIB)

   Once you have matched against the correct alarm model,
   you just check alarmActiveVariable*.1 to see if it
   matches notification.varbind.1 and check alarmActiveVariable*.2 
   to see if it matches notification.varbind.2

  mplsTunnelUp NOTIFICATION-TYPE
   OBJECTS     {
      mplsTunnelIndex,
      mplsTunnelInstance,
      mplsTunnelIngressLSRId,
      mplsTunnelEgressLSRId,
      mplsTunnelAdminStatus,
      mplsTunnelOperStatus
   }
   STATUS      current
   DESCRIPTION
        "This notification is generated when a
          mplsTunnelOperStatus object for one of the
          configured tunnels is about to leave the down state
          and transition into some other state (but not into
          the notPresent state).  This other state is
          indicated by the included value of
          mplsTunnelOperStatus."
   ::= { mplsTeNotifyPrefix 1 }

HI,

Your examples "only work" because those notification types include
the "canonical" resource identifier. Consider a new notification
type, say, called linkStatusChange, that has only variables
ifAdminStatus and ifOperStatus. And lets assume that for interface
resources, the canonical resource identifier is an instance of
ifIndex. You would have to translate from instances of ifAdminStatus
(or ifOperStatus) to instances of ifIndex.

I don't know how you would use two variables to do the translation.

What is the canonical resource identifier in the above example?
Also, the above looks like "bad" notification design because it
appears to include redundant index objects, which is bad.

hi

Arg. Well, I think you've just demonstrated how annoying
that SMI rule is. ;-)

Ok, well it could be done with two bitmaps
    1) Variable OIDs to match on  ifOperStatus.3 = Don't Care
    2) Values of variables to match on  ifIndex.3 = 3

But now the simple solution is a bit less simple.

As a technical contributor...

I think the "positional" approach to identifying the
varbind for resource ID extraction is making things more
complicated than they need to be.

There are three broad cases:
   1) The varbinds don't reveal the resource ID; the
      identity of the resource is simply implied by the
      notification type.  Example: authenticationFailure.

   2) The name portion of one of the variable bindings
      identifies the resource, though perhaps not directly.
      Here, for a given notification type, one needs to:

      a) figure out which variable binding is the interesting one

      b) extract the portion of the name that has the index we want

      c) tack that onto an object identifier "base" to form an
         appropriate rowpointer

   3) The value portion of one of the varible bindings
      identifies the resource, though perhaps not directly.
      Do any such things exist?

In the interest of keeping things relatively simply, I'm
proposing two objects for the AlarmModelTable specifically
for resource identification.   These cover (1) and (2) in a
fully general way, without requiring any magic or specific
knowledge of different notification types in the alarm MIB
implementation.

Graphically:

   +--------------------------------+--------------+
   | name                                          |
   |                                               |
   | (Prefix)                       |  (Indexes)   |
   +--------------------------------+--------------+
   / use alarmModelVarbindSubtree1  /       
   \ to match, split prefix / index \      |
   / 0.0 matches any prefix, yields /      V
   \ empty indexes                  \
   +--------------------------------+--------------+
   | use alarmModelResourceSubtree  | Indexes      |
   | to supply new base.  (0.0 just |              |
   | passes through "prefix"        |              |
   +--------------------------------+--------------+


The operation of these two objects can be summarized in a

         If the name is equal to or a subtree of the value

         remainder.  The examination of varbinds ends with

   alarmModelResourceSubtree  OBJECT-TYPE
      SYNTAX  OBJECT IDENTIFIER
      MAX-ACCESS   read-create
      STATUS       current
      DESCRIPTION
        "The value of AlarmActiveResourceID is computed
         by appending any indexes extracted in accordance
         with the description of alarmModelVarbindSubtree
         onto the value of this object.  If this object's
         value is 0.0, then the 'prefix' extracted is used
         instead.
        "
      DEFVAL { {0 0} }
      ::= { whatever }

Three concrete examples:

1) if I receive an authenticationFailure, I'd like the
   resource to be 1.3.6.1.6.3.15.1.1, so I configure:
        alarmModelVarbindSubtree = 0.0
        alarmModelResourceSubtree = 1.3.6.1.6.3.15.1.1

2) if I receive a linkDown that contains SDLC physicalFailures
   statistics, I'd like to have my alarm refer to the right ifEntry:
        alarmModelVarbindSubtree = 1.3.6.1.2.1.41.1.1.3.1.1
        alarmModelResourceSubtree = 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1

3) if the first varbind is always going to point to the
   right thing, then I just:
        alarmModelVarbindSubtree = 0.0
        alarmModelResourceSubtree = 0.0

I agree with Dave's concerns in general. Notifications which would
work for automatic alarm identification need to be designed for this
purpose.  And this constitutes a major change in the way we were
defining notifications so far.

Without special purpose notifications (and hopefully some guiding
rules how to design them), there will always be magic involved and
thus the alarm MIB must be "notification aware" in order to produce
sensible alarms. Perhaps this is not even that bad as it might sound
at first glance.

I think we need to make a clear decision to either require that
notifications have a certain structure to make automatic alarm
determination feasible or to accept that sensible alarms can only
be determined by alarm MIBs that understand specific notification
formats.

HI,

I'm having problems following the below. However, it appears that it
is reusing a "BROKEN" design pattern found in RFC 3014. I HOPE THAT
THIS BROKEN DESIGN PATTERN IS NOT USED IN OTHER MIB MODULES.
This is marked below..

^^^^^^^^
This is just totally broken. Why? Because the information is "hidden".
A manager cannot look at the created rows and figure out the what
is the behavior without knowing the hidden values. Also, if one wanted
to "save the configuration" and then "restore it", it would be impossible.
Also, say that you used SNMPv3 with USM and auth/priv to create the
row. This one mean that only notifications that were allowed to be
sent with auth/priv could result in additions to the active table.
This is just not correct.

I don't believe that we should repeat the same mistakes found
in other MIB modules. There is work in progress on fixing
RFC 3014.

Dan,
Can you clarify where these applications are documented?

Currently, the Alarm MIB does not support the ITU model for security alarms so I am assuming that you are referring to something
else?  The ITU security alarms don't support clear notifications.... they are transient alarms.

Also, I don't know why you called out separately, facilities alarms.... ITU model, of course, supports facility alarms.

Could you please clarify?
Thanks,
Tammy

Writing as WG chair...

Like it or not, there are already several standards-track RFCs
with similar properties, e.g.:
  RFC 2982, Expression MIB
  RFC 2981, Event MIB
  RFC 3014, Log MIB,
  RFC 3165, Script MIB
  RFC 3231, Schedule MIB

Several years ago, we had lengthy discussions in disman WG
meetings regarding the pros and cons of "explicit delegation"
rather than the path that we've taken.  Though I personally
believed (and still believe) explicit delegation to be both
more powerful and ultimately easier to understand, the working
group did not, and the consistent direction in the current
RFCs and I-Ds reflects that rough consensus.

Though I might personally very much like to see things working
on a foundation of explicit delegation rather than the current
implicit model, I don't see anything approaching a concensus
to make such a potentially disruptive change, and nothing
from implementation experience to date to suggest that what
we currently have is unworkable.

As a technical contributor, I'd like to remind you that several
objects in RFC 2574 have the same "bug"/"feature" regarding the
ability to use SNMP to extract a system's configuration.

...

As a technical contributor, I believe this is perfectly reasonable.
No sane security administrator would circumscribe the auth/priv
views more narrowly than noauth/nopriv.

More importantly, notifications which are only allowed on the
wire in auth/priv form should not go into "public" active alarm
tables.

Rather than sending the Microsoft Word-encoded document to
our entire mailing list (the text of this document was sent
out to this mailing list some time ago) I'm just sending the
URL of a copy of the document in our WG archives:

Again, I'd like to publicly thank SG4 for their comments.

Other than the keys, what objects have the attribute that you can
not retrieve values set via SNMP so that you can restore the
configuration via SNMP?

Or were you talking about another attribute?

HI,

Maybe an often repeated phrase is appropriate here...
Those that do not study history repeat the same mistakes.

Now whether or not what was done in the MIBs
that you specified were or were not appropriate
is something for someone else to review.
However, in my review of the LOG MIB (RFC 3014),
the capture and use of "hidden" credentials creates
more problems than it solves.

Lets fix the LOG MIB, and use that experience to
do a better job of future MIBs (like the ALARM MIB)
instead of reusing patterns that have problems.

The configuration save/restore and auditing is one problem,
but the model that one has to use the same security name,
security model, and security level in creating the 
"control table entries" that you want for the 
"data table entries" is just silly.

...

I was referring to the keys, obviously.  They're a critical
part of a system's configuration.  If you don't know what
they are, you can't do much at all.  By design.  That's why
I'm skeptical about any sort of "requirement" to make all
the bits needed to support explicit (or even implicit)
delegation recoverable via the MIB.

A sane security administrator would probably chose to use group
or user names to index these MIBs, making the administrative
issues of managing access trivial:  only the members of an
authorized group would be able to access the tables, and in
VACM, all members of a group have identical access rights
by definition.

And the problems are?
   1) ability of a third party to save and restore
      a configuration (is there any agreement that
      this is a requirement?)
   2) ?

The WG chair has been requesting feedback on the log MIB
for well over a year.  This is the first time that anyone
has claimed that the credential mechanism posed any sort
of a problem, so far as I know.  There are *no* counter-
proposals on the table.  Your complaints might be taken
more seriously if accompanied with a credible solution.

Thank you for the precise characterization of your viewpoint.
Do you think you could make a constructive proposal?
What should we do to prevent active alarms and logs from
giving inappropriate access to information, if not the
common approach taken by this WG in its other products?

Dave Sidor alerted me that this is actually a draft of the

HI,

Randy - I think you have forgotten about the work that Steve Moulton
and I have done. Steve has been unavailable to review the last
update, and, thus, I have not sent it to the list. However, I have
sent it to RamK, but have not yet gotten any feed back from him.

First, lets review the security issues, which are:
1) one wants only notifications in the named logs that were sent to
   a specific management target. Those notifications must "pass" the
   ACL check as described in RFC 2573 for notification distribution.
2) one wants a named log to be viewed only by the managers that
   have the appropriate credentials as specified by the VACM
   configuration for the named log.

Moving on, to answer your question about the problems of the    
RFC 3014 due to the hidden credentials, these include:
1) cannot do a config save/restore
2) cannot do security audit (since you cannot see the "hidden credentials",
    you cannot determine if the control entries match your security policy)
3) currently, the credentials used for the activation of a control table
   entry are used for the credentials used for determining whether or
   not to add a notification to the log. However, these are separate
   operations. The current approach forces them to be the same.

Note, there are other problems with RFC 3014, including:
1) confusion about engineIDs in the definition
2) no clean separation between usage in a "managed system" and
   a "mid-level manager"
3) efficiency of usage (that is, determining if new notifications
   have been added to a log, and then retrieving them)
4) confusion as to where in the notification distribution system
   as described in RFC 2573 where the "flow of notifications" is
   "tapped" (note, the tap point appears different for the null
   named log than for the named logs)
and I've probably forgotten a few....

As to implementation, I'm presently working with the developers at
cisco (who support only a "null named log") and the developers
at RiverStone (who support for both the "null named log"
and "named logs") to create some tests that are easy to configure
and run to determine if the behaviors of each implementation
are identical. Also, I'm trying to determine if the behaviors are
useful by talking with application developers.
Note, that if there are other implementations of RFC 3014 or suggestions
for tests, please contact me. Also, if anyone is writing a management 
application to use RFC 3014, please contact me. (Of course, Randy
would like implementation reports on the mailing list if this
is possible.)

So Randy - there is much work that has taken place. It's not on
the list, because its not at that point yet.

Maybe I deserved the following sarcasm for calling the current
mechanism "just silly". If personal attacks on me are what it
takes to solve the problem, then fine. However, I believe
the below is more words of frustration than a personal attack.

WG chair says:

If you can't disclose this work on an open IETF mailing list,
then it's irrelevant for our purposes.  As I've told you
before, I am not going to even look at such proposals until
they can be discussed publicly.  If you have something that
can be discussed in an open forum, fine, but until then,
I'm tired of the histrionics.
