Hi All! Please see two responses I wrote last year: * 31 oct 2016: Comparison of Vallin and Sharma Draft * 12 dec 2016: Comment on the ITU-T reference. Vallin vs Sharma ********************** Overall comments =============== *The sharma draft is a subset of the functionality in the vallin draft. On top of the alarm-list, the vallin draft covers: - alarm quality/usability requirements - alarm summary - alarm history (optional YANG feature) - alarm operator actions like ack (optional YANG feature) - alarm inventory (which are the possible alarms) - alarm shelving (filtering) - do not impose X733, rather this is an add-on * Stateful vs notification-based definition of alarms. The vallin draft focuses on representing alarms as an alarm state on a resource. The notifications refers to alarm state changes for a specific alarm on a specific resource. The alarm list represents the alarm state for a given resource and alarm type. The sharma draft focuses on a notification focused view on alarms. The alarm list represents the alarm notifications. The management system has to correlate the notifications into an actual alarm state. * On X733 The vallin draft does not use the X733 as a mandatory *core* model, rather it allows for X733 mapping when needed. While X733 has been the root for most telecom oriented alarm systems, it adds a bit of historic overhead. For example globally standardised probable cause values have not shown to be useful in some cases. X733 represents notifications and not state (see above). Therefore an alarm is either cleared or minor for example. The vallin draft clearly separates this. Severity is one thing, clearance is another. * Terminology the module is named “fault” while modelling alarms. See for example X733 for definitions of fault, errror and alarm. Detailed comments ================ Section 2 " New network architectures that include controllers, orchestrators, PCE, applications, etc., require new alarm types and probable causes to be defined. These new alarm types and probable causes will be defined in the next version of the model.” We doubt that having globally defined probable causes is a scalable way forward. Did not work well in X733 or RFC3877. Probable cause values from standards has been more of historical value then real value to alarm operators and alarm systems. Most telecom oriented alarm systems require this alarm attribute. However the actual values are different for all management systems. It is a confusing area with conflicting enum values. Our approach is different. We consider this to be a configurable mapping to match the needs of the management system and no values are defined in the alarm module. It is also kept separate as a X733 mapping rather than part of the core model. Section 2.2 The definition of 'alarm-id' is unclear. "In most cases this will be a combination of entity-type, entity-id, probable-cause and severity” entity-type: string entity-id: inet:uri probable-cause: identity-ref severity: enum Several questions on this: a) why does not the entity (called resource in the vallin draft) refer to a path in the YANG data tree? In the vallin draft we use an instance-identifier. We also allow for other resource instances based on SNMP or even a string as last resort. b) Alarm list key - assume you have a threshold alarm with the following life-cycle: T1, T2, T3, are the times for the alarm state changes. T1: raise, minor T2: major T3: clear In the sharma draft this will be *three different entries* in the alarm list. The client would have to correlate those. In the vallin draft this is *one entry*, one alarm, with three different states. The vallin draft also clearly separates the severity from the clearance state. The final state model is (major, cleared) This is important, what was the severity of the alarm and is it cleared or not? This is not easily seen in the sharma draft. This implies that the sharma draft alarm list is more of a notification log rather than an alarm-list that shows the current state. The vallin draft alarm-list focuses on current state of the alarms. Notifications represent state changes on the alarm state. c) the service-affecting flag This is superfluous. If the X733 severity levels are set correctly this is enough for service-affecting or not. See the X733 definition of severity levels. The vallin draft also has a leaf impacted-resources. In this leaf an alarm can refer to affected/impacted services. d) alarm-sequence number Not needed, NETCONF has notification replay and uses SSH sessions. Furthermore, since the sharma alarm list key is the identification of an alarm notification, why is this needed at all? There has been these kinds of var-binds in SNMP Alarm MIBs as well, it was a bit flawed there as well: you could use informs instead of trap-pdus. How does this work with filtering mechanisms? Do not try to do protocol stuff in the model. e) House-keeping Unclear how the list is managed, when are entries removed? f) Other considerations: - The vallin draft allows for more flexible resource (entity) identification, see below: The primary mechanism is an instance-identifier so that a node in the data-tree can be referenced The sharma draft uses string/uri which is another domain than the module. A bit strange, say you have an interface alarm, why should you not send an alarm on the path to interface in the data-model. The Vallin draft also allows for other naming schemes, for example SNMP OIDs: typedef resource { type union { type instance-identifier { require-instance false; } type yang:object-identifier; type string; } The alarm also has an optional leaf for referring to the alarming resource using an alternate naming scheme +--ro alarm* [resource alarm-type-id alarm-type-qualifier] +--ro resource resource +--ro alarm-type-id alarm-type-id +--ro alarm-type-qualifier alarm-type-qualifier +--ro alt-resource* resource So the alarm can use both the instance-identifer and the SNMP OID for the alarming interface for example. ITU-T **************** First of all, I need to stress the fact that we carefully *did not* do the module design based on X.733. There is a *separate*, optional, module to map to X733 which is still relevant for *some* management platforms. So I do not really agree on that top-level comment. But also note that G.7710 and G.806 are not replacing X.733. X.733 defines the information model for *alarm reporting* along with the ASN.1 data definitions. G.7710 and G.806 defines the equipment fault management functions that leads to alarm reporting at the end. The alarm list functions and alarm notifications are not defined by G.7710 and G.806 to my knowledge. G.806 Not so much related to general alarm management, this is more specifying instrumentation and behaviour for transmission alarm types like LOS, AIS etc. G.7710 * Alarm Report Control maps to alarm shelving in the vallin alarm yang model. We could rename to ARC. Will do a detailed study if it maps 100% or if there is missing pieces. * Alarm Severity Assignment Profile, configurable severity levels could be introduced. I doubt this being useful however. That is more for the management application itself rather than configuring on the device. But if you see requirements and scenarios for that, we can add it. RFC7260 We need to make sure all requirements are covered. I think we are fine. Requirements on alarm filters, avoiding spurious alarms etc are covered RFC5860 See above. So in summary, there would be very little work to reference RFC7260, RFC5860, G.7710, G.806. There are no big missing pieces, more on terminology especially ARC.
