This is a solicited ops-dir review of draft-ietf-opsawg-syslog-alarm-02 which is currently in IETF LC. This could be useful. I'll describe our related usage, maybe this will help in placing this in an operational context. For example, we process syslog alarms just by translating them to syslog locally (snmp server behaviour). This output is not very useful and in order to see real-time status of alarms and their details, we need to log on to the equipment and screen-scrape information. (If I'd have to guess, I'd say the vendor just doesn't implement SNMP polling of detailed alarm information but maybe it doesn't even exist.) The spec appears to be simple and fine; a few editorial modifications (below) could improve it slightly. editorial --------- In S 3, the term "SD ID" is first used. It should be expanded/explained. It seems to come from RFC5424. In S 3 s/SD-PARARMS/SD-PARAMS/ In S 3.6, URIs must be defined by RFC1786 and its updates; that RFC has been made obsolete; I suggest replacing that with RFC3986 which should include what you need. In S 6, likewise as tehe first comment, you say "IANA is requested to register the SD-IDs", better: "IANA is requested to register the syslog Structured Data ID Values". Makes it easier to find the registry in the IANA web page as well :-)
