Escalation policies not working

[MrOkik]

Hello Guys,

 

I have created a new escalation policies and actions to assigned value to User Attribute 3. At the first, policies is running as expected but when the alert is updated, the value for user attribute back to null values. For more details please see below picture:

At the first:

 

After 5-10 minutes

 

and here are the configurations for My Policies.

 

 

Does anyone have experience with this?

Hi Okik,

 

Can you share alert history (Export in Excel if it is huge) for an example for a alert when UserAttribute was updated and it is now showing blank after alert update.

 

Thanks,

Hi Okik,

 

This is what I see, Values for UserAttribute3 undated 

1. Dec 29 3:55:46 PM ICT - Updated with JVM

2. Dec 29 3:56:39 PM ICT - Updated with Blank Value

3. Dec 29 4:13:13 PM ICT - Updated with JVM

4. Dec 29 4:13:45 PM ICT - Updated with Blank

 

Its been long time for me to worked on SOI. Looks like it needed some patch. SOI experts may help you on this.

Hi Okik,

 

Can you explain "when the alert is updated"?

Does it mean that the alert is being updated by connector or any escalation action?

 

Thanks

Hi Brahma,

 

Thanks for the reply. I means when the alert is being updated by connector.

Couple of questions...

=> Is the problem with only SNMP Connector alerts or all?

=> When alert is updated means, the same alert property is being updated?

Please raise a case with CA Support for further research on this.

Is this because of SNMP connector publishing it as a NEW alert with same AlertID every time, rather publishing it as UPDATEED alert ?

Hi Brahma,

No, this problem occurs also for APM Connector (SNMP Alert Action).

 

=> When alert is updated means, the same alert property is being updated?

I think so, because when the alert is being updated, assigned value for user attribute is back to null values.

 

I have also tried temporary solution but it still does not work.

Parallel, I will raise this issue to CA Support.

If I remember correctly, I had the similar issue a while back with parsing values from the message to userAttributes for APM Connector Alarms. I had to apply a patch. Will go back to my calls and see if I can find it, then will update it here.

Found it. I was running SOI v4.0 cum1. Patch is RO91532.
