Hello,

Thanks for the updates. Generally the draft is in a good condition, still I would like you to reconsider the point commented below.

regards Balazs

Hello,

I have reviewed draft-ietf-ccamp-alarm-module-04 and 05

General: 
The draft https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-lengyel-netmod-yang-instance-data-04" class="" rel="nofollow">https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-lengyel-netmod-yang-instance-data-04 describes how to document YANG instance data. One of the main use case for documenting YANG instance data in a file is to provide information about the YANG server's capabilities. The alarm-inventory is exactly such a set of server capabilities that could, that SHOULD be documented in a YANG Instance Data file already in design-time to help users integrate management systems. The draft is in the process of being adopted by the Netmod WG.
BALAZS: You did not add this informative reference. Why? E.g. for my company this is one of the main use cases for using instance data.
The draft was lately adopted by the Netmod workgroup as https://tools.ietf.org/wg/netmod/draft-ietf-netmod-yang-instance-file-format/" rel="nofollow">https://tools.ietf.org/wg/netmod/draft-ietf-netmod-yang-instance-file-format/
I would generally prefer using YANG actions instead of rpcs. I would place all RPCs as actions under the /alarms container.
• These are not general system-wide operations, they are specific to alarm-handling. They belong under /alarms
• It makes setting up access control simpler. As the access control for the /alarms container already controls access to the RPCs too. Otherwise you need separate rules for each RPC.
• On a CLI if you ask for help, all top level RPCs are listed as options. If there are many RPCs the list gets really long. With actions you do not have this problem.

We see your point, actions vs rpc can always be discussed.
How RPCs are presented in a CLI is a totally different thing though, that is up to the CLI engine
However, we prefer to keep these as RPCs at this point.
BALAZS: IMHO all 3 above points are valid. You only addressed the last one, and even there some of the main CLI implementations list RPCs in just one common flat list beside yang data nodes. IMHO while CLI is not standardized, still why make it more difficult for implementers?

list-alarm)

I am missing a leaf: time-alarm-raised.  As an alarm can be raised then cleared, then raised again I have no way of knowing when the current alarm condition started. If an interface is down I can't check how long has it been down. We have the leaf time-created, however if the alarm is repeatedly raised/cleared/raised but never purged this leaf will tell me when this alarm was first raised in the history of the system, which is not very interesting.
This can be done by inspecting:
       +--ro status-change* [time]
          +--ro time                    yang:date-and-time
          +--ro perceived-severity      severity-with-clear
          +--ro alarm-text              alarm-text

BALAZS: You are right, but again the primary information should be in the alarm-list. When the alarm entry was created is not very interesting while the time when the alarm was last "raised" (changed to isCleared=false) is the primary date/time information. In case the alarm was raised/cleared/raised/cleared multiple times the time-created is really unimportant. time-raised should be used instead.

Generally for all type of information the important event is when the alarm was raised (the last time) not when it was created (the first time).

Also IMHO the terminology "raise alarm" is IMHO rather useful and widely used.


Appendix F.1)

Clarify whether this annex is normative or informative. To me this seems, this should be normative text.
This is informative

BALAZS: Why should it be only informative? It seems as rather natural, and rather logical idea. Why would we allow an implementation to violate this?

Anyway IMHO normative/informative should be indicated somewhere. Some standards (maybe not IETF) do use normative appendices. Should this be trivial for the reader? For some appendices where you have "example" in the title this is trivial, but for others, at least for me it is not.
