Hi Stefan, Thanks for providing this info upfront. Looks good, but am wondering whether ‘alarm-type-qualifier-match’ would be better than ‘alarm-type-qualifier’.

Working on an updated revision based on feedback from the list. This is how alarm-profile looks right now. Following your suggestions. Let me know what you think!

I absolutely agree that it is most important that we can progress the YANG Alarm Module to RFC asap, so that support for it can begin to be implemented in the industry. 1) Extended notification filtering. The introduction of ‘notify-security-level’ here has one drawback in that it is a global configuration applying to all alarm types and thus does not allow the behaviour to be assigned based on type of resource, such as interface or object. This does not allow you to suppress alarms below a certain severity for some interface types that are not so important, for example, but keep normal alarm behaviour for other more important interfaces. Also just 'Crossing the specified level' may fulfil the desired behaviour for alarm types with a 1:1 mapping to severity level, but not for alarm types with severity life cycles. if the severity of the alarm continues to increase above the configured severity level, alarm notifications would also need to be sent. Consider the following example assuming the severity-level is set to ‘major’: [(Time, severity, clear)]: [(T1, major, -), (T2, critical, -), (T3, major, -), (T4, minor, -), (T5, major), (T6, major, clear)] I would expect alarm notifications at T1, T2, T3, and T6. Changing this configuration to a choice does have its advantages, such as to allow the addition of other cases later or allow other SDOs or vendors to augment other cases. So maybe a pragmatic approach so as to not block progress of this draft could be to keep the choice format but omit the ‘notify-security-level’ for now and continue discussions. 2) Alarm Severity Assignment Profile The proposed implementation provides the means to override severities for alarm types with severity life cycles, but at the same time the implementation is relatively simple. Also the use of a criteria to assign the severity to alarms – and I am assuming that it would work like for the shelf - allows resource-independent overriding of factory default severities through specification of an alarm-type only, but also to add additional overrides for specific resources. The only question is if there are multiple assignments that apply to a specific alarm instance which assignment should apply? For example, if I create an entry for [(alarm-type-id, alarm-type-id-qualifier, resource, severity-level] [(los,,,major),(los,,”interface 1”, critical)] which severity assignment applies to interface 1? The more specific? The implementation is also very specific to alarm severity assignment. The mechanism itself, though, is relatively generic, mapping information to alarms, in this case alarm severities. Other SDOs or vendors may wish to augment the list with other data nodes to use this mechanism to associate other data with alarm types and avoid having to implement multiple lists. So I believe that there would be a great advantage and added-value, if this list would be made more generic, such as renaming it to just ‘alarm-profile’, for example. And although it does fulfil the requirements of M.3100/M.3160, including the list within the module ietf-alarms-itu would basically restrict the use and possible extension of the ASAP to ITU requirements only. Since possible augmentations could originate from requirements coming from other SDOs and vendors, it would IMHO not be prudent to include it in this module.

From: CCAMP [mailto:ccamp-bounces@ietf.org] On Behalf Of stefan vallin Sent: Monday, May 28, 2018 2:12 PM To: Common Control and Measurement Plane Discussion List Subject: [CCAMP] Alarm Module work Hi! Me and Martin are working on an updated version of the alarm module. Several smaller things pointed out by reviewers. Thank you all. We would like to share 2 things for discussion: 1) Extended notification filtering 2) Alarm Severity Assignment Profile We are now stretching the limit for being a first core module with only relevant features. At this point I think it is more important to start having implementation support rather than adding even more features which might scare people of from implementing it. 1) Extended notification filtering ======================== See suggestion below, added the capability to filter on severity. We did not include resource filtering since that would be too much overlap with shelving. choice notify-status-changes { description "This leaf controls the notifications sent for alarm status updates. There are three options: 1. notifications are sent for all updates, severity level changes and alarm text changes 2. notifications are only sent for alarm raise and clear 3. notifications are sent for status changes equal to or above the specified severity level. Clear notifications shall always be sent Notifications shall also be sent for state changes that makes an alarm less severe than the specified level. In option 3, assuming the severity level is set to major, and that the alarm has the following state changes [(Time, severity, clear)]: [(T1, major, -), (T2, minor, -), (T3, warning, -), (T4, minor, -), (T5, major), (T6, major, clear)] In that case, notifications will be sent at T1, T2, T5 and T6"; leaf notify-all-state-changes { type empty; description "Send notifications for all status changes."; } leaf notify-raise-and-clear { type empty; description "Send notifications only for raise, clear, and re-raise. Notifications for severity level changes or alarm text changes are not sent."; } leaf notify-severity-level { type severity; description "Only send notifications for alarm state changes crossing the specified level. Always send clear notifications."; } } 2) Alarm Severity Assignment Profile ============================ We have renamed ietf-alarms-x733 to ietf-alarms-itu since it now includes X.733 as well as M.3100/M.3160 features list alarm-severity-assignment-profile { if-feature alarm-severity-assignment-profile; key "alarm-type-id alarm-type-qualifier resource"; ordered-by user; description "If an alarm matches the criteria in one of the entries in this list the configured severity levels shall be used instead of the system default. Note well that the mapping allows for several severity levels since this alarm module uses a stateful alarm model where the same alarm can have the following states: [(warning, not cleared),(minor, not cleared), (minor, cleared)] The configuration of this list shall update the /al:alarms/al:alarm-inventory/al:alarm-type list so that a client can always get a full picture of the possible alarms by reading the alarm inventory. If an alarm matches several entries in this list, the first match is used."; reference "M.3160/M.3100 Alarm Severity Assignment Profile, ASAP"; leaf alarm-type-id { type al:alarm-type-id; description "The alarm type identifier to match for severity assignment."; } leaf alarm-type-qualifier { type string; description "A W3C regular expression that is used to match an alarm type qualifier."; } leaf resource { type al:resource-match; description "Specifies which resources to match for severity assignment."; } leaf-list severity-levels { type al:severity; ordered-by user; description "Specifies the configured severity level(s) for the matching alarm. If the alarm has several severity levels the leaf-list shall be given in rising severity order. The original M3100/M3160 ASAP function only allows for a one-to-one mapping between alarm type and severity but since the IETF alarm module supports stateful alarms the mapping must allow for several severity levels. Assume a high-utilisation alarm type with two thresholds with the system default severity levels of threshold1 = warning and threshold2 = minor.
