Diameter Thresholds


Diameter Thresholds
 
 
Threshold monitoring can be enabled for the Diameter-related values described in the following table.
 
 
Configuring Diameter Thresholds
This section describes how to enable and configure Diameter thresholds.
 
DCCA Bad Answers Threshold
DCCA Bad Answers threshold generates alerts or alarms based on the number of times DIAMETER-BAD-ANSWER code is sent to the Diameter server during the polling interval.
Alerts or alarms are triggered based on the following rules:
Enter condition : Actual number of times DIAMETER-BAD-ANSWER code sent > or = High Threshold
Clear condition : Actual number of times DIAMETER-BAD-ANSWER code sent < Low Threshold
If a trigger condition occurs within the polling interval, the alert or alarm will not be generated until the end of the polling interval.
 
Configuring DCCA Bad Answers Threshold
To configure the DCCA Bad Answers threshold use the following configuration:
configure
  threshold dcca-bad-answers <high_thresh> [ clear <low_thresh> ]
  threshold poll dcca-bad-answers interval <seconds>
  threshold monitoring ecs
  end
 
DCCA Protocol Errors Threshold
DCCA Protocol Errors threshold generates alerts or alarms based on the number protocol error messages received from the Diameter server during the polling interval.
Alerts or alarms are triggered based on the following rules:
 
Enter condition : Actual number of protocol error messages received > or = High Threshold
Clear condition : Actual number of protocol error messages received < Low Threshold
If a trigger condition occurs within the polling interval, the alert or alarm will not be generated until the end of the polling interval.
 
Configuring DCCA Protocol Errors Threshold
To configure the DCCA Protocol Errors threshold use the following configuration:
configure
  threshold dcca-protocol-error <high_thresh> [ clear <low_thresh> ]
  threshold poll dcca-protocol-error interval <seconds>
  threshold monitoring ecs
  end
 
DCCA Rating Failure Threshold
DCCA Rating Failure threshold generates alerts or alarms based on the number of times the Diameter server rejected requests for a block of credits, due to the Rating Group (content-id) being invalid during the polling interval.
Alerts or alarms are triggered based on the following rules:
 
Enter condition : Actual number of rating failures > or = High Threshold
Clear condition : Actual number of rating failures < Low Threshold
If a trigger condition occurs within the polling interval, the alert or alarm will not be generated until the end of the polling interval.
 
Configuring DCCA Rating Failure Threshold
To configure the DCCA Rating Failure threshold use the following configuration:
configure
  threshold dcca-rating-failed <high_thresh> [ clear <low_thresh> ]
  threshold poll dcca-rating-failed interval <seconds>
  threshold monitoring ecs
  end
 
DCCA Unknown Rating Group Threshold
DCCA Unknown Rating Group threshold generates alerts or alarms based on the number of times the block of credits returned by the Diameter server is rejected due to the Rating Group being unknown during the polling interval.
Alerts or alarms are triggered based on the following rules:
 
Enter condition : Actual number of “unknown rating group” failures > or = High Threshold
Clear condition : Actual number of “unknown rating group” < Low Threshold
If a trigger condition occurs within the polling interval, the alert or alarm will not be generated until the end of the polling interval.
 
Configuring DCCA Unknown Rating Group Threshold
To configure the DCCA Unknown Rating Group threshold use the following configuration:
configure
  threshold dcca-unknown-rating-group <high_thresh> [ clear <low_thresh> ]
  threshold poll dcca-unknown-rating-group interval <seconds>
  threshold monitoring ecs
  end
 
Diameter Retry Rate Threshold
Diameter Retry Rate threshold generates alerts or alarms based on the percentage of Diameter requests that were re-tried during the polling interval.
Alerts or alarms are triggered based on the following rules:
 
Enter condition: Percentage of Diameter requests retried > or = High Threshold
Clear condition: Percentage of Diameter requests retried < Low Threshold
If a trigger condition occurs within the polling interval, the alert or alarm will not be generated until the end of the polling interval.
 
Configuring Diameter Retry Rate Threshold
To configure the Diameter Retry Rate threshold use the following configuration:
configure
  threshold diameter diameter-retry-rate <high_thresh> [ clear <low_thresh> ]
  threshold poll diameter-retry-rate interval <seconds>
  threshold monitoring diameter
  end
 
Saving Your Configuration
When you configure thresholds they are not permanent unless you save the changes. When you have completed configuring thresholds, save your configuration as described in the Verifying and Saving Your Configuration chapter.
