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 to
flash memory, an external memory device, and/or a network
location using the Exec mode command save configuration.
For additional information on how to verify and save configuration
files, refer to the System Administration Guide and the Command
Line Interface Reference.
