Explains how fault profiles enable customized fault severity management and action for system alarms.
A fault profile is a configuration construct that
-
groups fault types generated in a system,
-
assigns user-defined severity to each fault, and
-
specifies actions such as creating, modifying, or deleting fault profiles and associated alarms
In a system, the default fault list captures all possible faults and their default severity values. The default severity applies when no custom fault profile is attached. Fault profiles can be created for specific scopes, such as the system, line card, node, or port, to override default severity and actions.
If a system profile is attached but you need a different fault profile for a node, you can create a node profile and attach it. The node then inherits its attached node profile properties.
Available severity levels:
-
Major
-
Minor
-
Critical
-
Non Faulted
-
Non Reported
The defined set of actions for a fault profile are:
-
Create and delete a fault profile
-
Add alarms to a fault profile
-
Remove alarms from a fault profile
-
Modify severity of alarm in an existing profile
