- Description of Working Group:
-
- The Alert Management Working Group is chartered with defining and
- developing techniques to manage the flow of asynchronously generated
- information between a manager (NOC) and its remote managed entities.
- The output of this group should be fully compatible with the letter and
- spirit of SNMP (RFC 1067) and CMOT (RFC 1095).
-
-
- Goals and Milestones:
-
- Done Develop, implement, and test protocols and mechanisms to prevent a
- managed entity from burdening a manager with an unreasonable amount
- of unexpected network management information. This will focus on
- controlling mechanisms once the information has been generated by a
- remote device.
-
- May 90 Develop, implement, and test mechanisms to prevent a managed entity
- from generating locally an excess of alerts to be controlled. This
- system will focus on how a protocol or MIB object might internally
- prevent itself from generating an unreasonable amount of information.
-
- Done Write an RFC detailing the above, including examples of its
- conforment use with both SNMP traps and CMOT events.
-
- Dec 90 Write an RFC detailing the above. Since the implementation of these
- mechanisms is protocol dependent, the goal of this RFC would be to
- offer guidance only. It would request a status of ``optional''.
