5 Conventions
This Recommendation I International Standard defines Services following the descriptive conventions defined in
CCITT Rec. X.210 I ISO/TR 8509. In clause 9, the definition of each Service includes a table that lists the Parameters
of its primitives. For a given primitive, the presence of each Parameter is described by one of the following values
M the Parameter is mandatory
-
the value of the Parameter is equal to the value of the Parameter in the column to the left
t-9
U
the use of the Parameter is a service-user Option.
-
the Parameter is not present in the interaction described by the primitive concemed.
C the Parameter is conditional. The condition(s) arc defined by the text which describes the
Parameter.
P subject to the constraints imposed on the Parameter by CCITT Rec. X.710 I ISO/IEC 9595.
NOTE - The Parameters which are marked ‘2”’ in Service tables of this Recommendation I International Standard are
mapped directly onto the corresponding Parameters of the CMIS Service primitive, without changing the semantics or Syntax of the
Parameters. The remaining Parameters are used to construct an MAPDU.
6 Requirements
The requirements satisfied by this function are the reporting of alarms, errors and related information, in a Standard
fashion.
CCITT Rec. X.733 (1992 E)

ISO/IEC 10164-4 : 1992 (E)
7 Model
Early detection of faults before significant effects have been felt by the user is a desirable requirement
of communicating Systems. Degradation of Service may be detected by monitoring of error rates. Threshold
mechanisms on counters and gauges are a method of detecting such trends and providing a waming to managers when
the rate becomes high.
An importam criterion by which failures of communications resources are to be reported is the level to which the fault
degrades the quality of the Service that was originally requested by (or promised to) the Service User. Malfunctions
will range in severity from Waming, where there is no impact upon the quality of Service offered to the User, to
Critical, where it is no longer possible to provide the Service requested by (or promised to) the Service User. The level
of severity tan be described generically and ctiteria specified based upon the level of degradation that the fault causes
to the Service: Critical, Major, Minor or Warning.
Alarms are specific types of notifications conceming detected faults or abnormal conditions. Managed Object defmers
are encouraged to include in alarms information that will help with understanding the Cause of the potentially
abnormal Situation, and other information related to side effects. An example of such diagnostic information is the
current and past values of the configuration management state of the Object.
A Single incident may Cause the generation of several notifications; it is important to be able to specify in a
notification some correlation with other notifkations. However, the mechanism, if any, for determining the
relationship between notifications resulting from a Single incident is outside the scope of this function.
It is considered important in some circumstances to provide alarm reports with a standardized style, using a common
set of notification types, with standardized Parameters and Parameter definitions, independent of particular managed
objects. The notification types specified in this function are intended to be generally applicable and tan be imported
into the definition of any managed Object.
Control of notifications, e.g. whether a notification results in an event report, may be accomplished by use of the Event
Report management function defined in CCITT Rec. X.734 I ISO/IEC 10164-5.
8 Generic definitions
. Generic notifications
81
The set of generic notifications, Parameters and semantics defined by this Recommendation I International Standard
provide the detail for the following general Parameters of the M-EVENT-REPORT Service as defined by CCITT
Rec. X.710 I ISO/IEC 9595
-
event type;
-
event in formation;
-
event reply.
All notifications are potential entries in a Systems management log and this Recommendation I International Standard
defines a managed Object class for this purpose. CCITT Rec. X.721 l ISO/IEC 10165-2 defines a generic event log
record Object class from which all entries are derived, the additional information being specified by the event
information and event reply Parameters.
8.1.1 Event type
This Parameter categories the alarm. Five basic categories of alarm are specified. These are
-
communications alarm type: An alarm of this is principally associated with the procedures and/or
tYPe
processes required to convey information from one Point to another;
-
quality of Service alarm type: An alarm of this type is principally associated with a degradation in tbe
quality of a Service;
-
processing error alarrn type: An alarm of this type is principally associated with a softwar-e or processing
fault;
-
equipment alarm type: An alarm of this type is principally associated with an equipment fault;
-
environmental alarm type: An alarm of this type is principally associated with a condition relating to an
enclosure in which the equipment resides.

8.1.2 Event information
The following Parameters constitute the notification specific information.
8.1.2.1 Probable Cause
This Parameter defines further qualification as to the probable Cause of the alarm. Probable Cause values for
notifications shall be indicated in the behaviour clause of the Object class defmition. This Recommendation 1
International Standard defines, for use within the Systems management application context defined in CCITT X.701 I
ISO/IEC 10040, Standard Probable Causes that have wide applicability across managed Object classes. These values
are registered in CCITT X.721 I ISO/IEC 10165-2. The syntax of Standard Probable Causes shall be the ASN.l type
Object identifier. Additional Standard Probable Causes, for use within the Systems management application context
defined in CCITT X.701 l ISO/IEC 10040, may be added to this Recommendation l International Standard and
registered using the registration procedures defined for ASN.1 Object identifier values in CCITT Rec. X.208 I
ISOIIEC 8824.
Other Probable Causes, for use within the Systems management application context defined in CCITT X.701 I
ISO/IEC 10040, may be defined outside of this Recommendation I International Standard and registered using the
procedures defined for ASN.l Object identifier values in CCITT Rec. X.208 I ISO/IEC 8824.
Probable Causes may be defined for use outside of the Systems management application context; the Syntax of such
Probable Causes shall be either an ASN. 1 Object identifier or ASN. 1 type integer.
The managed Object class definer should choose the most specific Probable Cause applicable.
This Recommendation I International Standard defines the following Probable Causes
-
adapter error;
-
application Subsystem failure: A failure in an application Subsystem has occurred (an application
Subsystem may include Software to support the Session, Presentation or Application layers);
