Alarm

Alarm is a task that allows for configuration of alarms on selected devices. The current set of devices support by this task is WeOS 4 and WeOS 5 devices.

Interface components

Each device can configure multiple actions and triggers, as well as enable or disable summary trap.

Actions

When an alarm event occurs, the operator can be informed in a number of ways. This is defined by a specific alarm action that is associated with any given alarm trigger. The alarm action in turn specify one or more alarm targets that will be used to notify the operator.

The available targets vary depending on the WeOS version

WeOS 4

TargetDescription
SNMP-TrapGenerate an SNMP trap
LogLog status change to syslog
LEDSet ON/Status LED
Status-RelayControl the status relay (digital out)
PortControl the admin status of a port.
RebootReboot the unit. USE WITH CAUTION!

WeOS 5

TargetDescription
SNMP-TrapGenerate an SNMP trap
LogLog status change to syslog
LEDSet ON/Status LED
Status-RelayControl the status relay (digital out)
PortControl the admin status of a port.
InterfaceControl the admin status of an interface.

Port selection

There are some presets available to make it easier to select the correct ports. The presets are as follows:

info

Only presets that are applicable to the current device and configuration will be shown.

PresetDescription
Enable on All Tagged PortsSelects all ports that are tagged in at least one VLAN.
Enable on All Untagged PortsSelects all ports that are untagged in at least one VLAN.
Enable on All FRNT PortsSelects all ports that are configured to be part of at least one FRNT ring.
Enable on All MRP PortsSelects all ports that are configured to be part of at least one MRP ring.
Enable on All RSTP Ports (Non Admin Edge)Selects all ports that are configured for RSTP meshing, except those configured as an admin edge.
Enable on All Ports Currently having Link Status Up (Except PC)Selects all ports that are currently up, except if that port connects directly to the configuring PC.
Enable on All RiCo uplink portsSelects all ports that are configured to be RiCo uplink ports.
Enable on All Dual-Homing uplink portsSelects all ports that are configured to be Dual-Homing ports.
Disable on all PortsDeselects all ports

Triggers

An alarm trigger will monitor a provided alarm source and define the conditions for when specific alarm events occur, in other words, when the trigger becomes active (alarm situation) or inactive (normal operation).

Exactly which triggers are available depends on the device. The list you see in WeConfig is based on the list of supported trigger types the devices themselves provide.

These are all the triggers that WeConfig currently supports:

Common parameters

All triggers have a set of common parameters:

ParameterDescription
EnabledEnables or disables the trigger.
Active SeveritySpecify the severity level of active alarm events detected by this trigger.
Inactive SeveritySpecify the severity level of inactive alarm events detected by this trigger.
ActionThe action to be invoked when this trigger detects an alarm event.

Serverity levels are defined as follows:

Severity LevelDescription
EmergencySystem is unusable
AlertAction must be taken
CriticalCritical conditions
ErrorError conditions
WarningWarning conditions
NoticeSignificant condition
InfoInformational message
DebugDebug-level message
NoneNo severity
