Description of Working Group:
The Alert Management Working Group is chartered with defining and
developing techniques to manage the flow of asynchronously generated
information between a manager (NOC) and its remote managed entities.
The output of this group should be fully compatible with the letter and
spirit of SNMP (RFC 1067) and CMOT (RFC 1095).
Goals and Milestones:
MAY 90 Develop, implement, and test mechanisms to prevent a
managed entity from generating locally an excess of alerts
to be controlled. This system will focus on how a protocol
or MIB object might internally prevent itself from
generating an unreasonable amount of information.
DEC 90 Write an RFC detailing the above. Since the implementation
of these mechanisms is protocol dependent, the goal of this
RFC would be to offer guidance only. It would request a
status of ``optional''.
Done Write an RFC detailing the above, including examples of its
conforment use with both SNMP traps and CMOT events.
Done Develop, implement, and test protocols and mechanisms to
prevent a managed entity from burdening a manager with an
unreasonable amount of unexpected network management
information. This will focus on controlling mechanisms once
the information has been generated by a remote device.
Internet-Drafts:
No Current Internet-Drafts.
