Summary of root-cause problems and events

  • By subscribing to OSPF-relevant status updates from
    IP Availability Manager
  • By using SNMP polling to gather status information from the OSPF-enabled devices
  • By extracting status information from SNMP traps that are issued by the OSPF-enabled devices
  • By extracting status information from syslog messages that are issued by the OSPF-enabled devices
    correlates these events to diagnose root-cause problems.
    Events used as symptoms to diagnose a root-cause problem can also be perceived as impacts that are caused by the problem.
