Root-cause problems, exceptions, and events

IP Availability Manager
diagnoses root-cause problems and detects (computes) events from status changes gathered from or issued by devices in the managed environment. It uses the events as symptoms to diagnose root-cause problems.
Events used as symptoms to diagnose a failure can also be perceived as impacts resulting from the failure.
IP Availability Manager
also generates exceptions, or aggregate events, where an exception is a collection of problems or events associated with a particular managed system, IPv6Network, or VLAN.
IP Availability Manager
generates an exception whenever any of the composite problems or events for the system, IPv6Network, or VLAN occur. For example,
IP Availability Manager
will generate an exception for a router when a card on the router has a problem or the router is down.
The
Global Manager
imports all problems diagnosed by
IP Availability Manager
and certain key events detected by
IP Availability Manager
. It also imports the IPv6Network inaccessible exception. The problem notifications (one problem per notification), notifications (one event per notification), and IPv6Network exception notifications (one exception per notification) are displayed in the
Global Console
.
The
provides information on key attributes, diagnosed problems, generated exceptions, and detected events for all categories of network object types in the
IP Availability Manager
data model.
