  • 1.  Alarms coming from PC into Spectrum, can they be used in Spectrum Service Manager

    Posted Aug 11, 2015 05:30 AM

    Morning all,

     

    We have a client that would like to see all alarms coming from NPC 6.1.205 through to Spectrum, displayed as service health in Service Manager.

     

    For instance:

    • A mail system where the network components and servers are discovered in Spectrum.
    • The network components are also being monitored via NV and NFA.
    • The application itself is being monitored using ADA.
    • Event Manager and Anomaly Detector installed on NPC server.
    • All six systems are data sources in NPC.
    • There is a Service with sub-services containing the network and server components within Spectrum. This information comes directly from the discovered devices in Spectrum.
    • Now the million $ question! The Performance, Flow and Application alarms coming from PC into Spectrum, can they be utilised in a Spectrum Service to show the relevant service health and if they can, how?

    They do not have SOI installed, so I cannot use that route.

    First prize would be a full service representation that identifies the exact area that is causing degradation of the system, second prize is a reasonable representation that can show the client that an issue exists within the mail system.

     

    Any help would be appreciated.

     

    Regards

    Kurt

    Kurt,

     

    We can have these alarm types affect the service health provided these alarm types are available under service manager policies.

    Kurt,

     

    We can also have the Service manager policy affect the service health based on the keywords in the alarm title. Does that help?
