Hi All,
I would like to understand how can an external NMS system fetch the overall status of the elements which are provisioned in the DMA. Ideally I am looking for which OID's can be provided to the external system vendor to be configured in there NMS based on SNMP.
In simple terms if we can get the OID's for the [Element Alarm State] as available on the General Parameters Page, that should suffice but the question is do we have those parameters in the exposed SNMP MIB file ?
Hi Amit,
An option could be using the SNMP Manager feature. However, this feature only allows you to forward events/alarms (via SNMP traps) to external systems.
If you would like to send a SNMP trap to the external system whenever there is an alarm in the general parameter '[Element Alarm State]', you will need to enable the monitoring on this parameter:
The drawback of this workaround is that you will have additional alarms in the alarm console:
Another option for could be using the DataMiner Web API. For example, you could use the method GetElementsForView to get the list of elements available in the view. The response will contain detailed information for each element (e.g. the alarm status of the element).
Indeed, the Protocol MIB does not seem to contain an OID which maps the Overall Element Status (or any other General Parameters).
You can check the OID's you can add to your traps by clicking the "add" button in the custom bindings section. See below. Is this what you're looking for?
Probably the OID’s which you are referring to are the Alarm Status however what I am looking for is Overall Element Status as mentioned under General Parameters Page –> Element Alarm State.
