<![CDATA[Issues with clearing alarms]]>As a long term administrator of HP OML/OMi, I (and the operations staff) are used to seeing a clearing alarm when an anomalous issue has been corrected.  The "standard" has always been to have the clearing alarm terminate the problem alarm, then after 60 seconds, the clearing alarm terminates automatically.

I am looking for a way to accomplish this (if possible).

Any help would be appreciated.

  1. Set alarm timeout and what event will be generated, and then create another rule to terminate alarm on timeout event. Note that timeout event will be generated only if alarm will still be in outstanding state.

  2. Execute script action with required delay in same rule, and terminate alarm from that script.

I know how to generate and terminate alarms and it works great.  I was looking for a way to generate a clearing alarm, then terminate it after 60 seconds.

When you create "problem" alarm, you create event processing policy rule that do "generate alarm" and here you can set the key. For terminating you create another rule that handles recovery event and do "terminate alarm" with the given key. You can look at rules for SYS_NODE_DOWN and SYS_NODE_UP events.
