netsight alarm definition file

Netsight 6.2 - Console - Alarms Manager

In which file are the alarms saved? Is it possible to edit this file?

[JohanHendrikx]

You have to define the alarms in the :\Program Files\Extreme Networks\NetSight\services\trapd (windows enviorment )

The enty must like:

EVENT extremePortMauChangeTrap .1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.4.13.2.0.1 "Status Alarms" Warning

FORMAT $1 $3

SDESC

"SFP removed or inserted on switch"



EDESC

Thank you. I do define alarms for a third party device. For instance an alarm for "SFP plugged out" and one for "SFP plugged in". And "SFP plugged in" clears the "SFP plugged out". This definitions are now in my demo system. How to ADD this to the Netsight system of my customer? If I could edit the alarms definitions I just could copy/add "my alarms".

Alarms are defined in the netsight database in the table nsalarmdefs

Example

2 rows in set (0.00 sec)Why would you want to edit this from here and not the alarm manager?

[JohanHendrikx]

That I don't know.I think in the netsight database.
