For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of RFC 3410 [RFC3410].
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed the Management Information Base or MIB. MIB objects are generally accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the Structure of Management Information (SMI). This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58, RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580 [RFC2580].
In traditional SNMP management, problems are detected on an entity either through polling interesting MIB variables, waiting for the entity to send a Notification for a problem, or some combination of the two. This method is somewhat successful, but experience has shown some problems with this approach. Managers monitoring large numbers of entities cannot afford to be polling large numbers of objects on each device. Managers trying to ensure high reliability are unable to accurately determine whether any problems had occurred when they were not monitoring an entity. Finally, it can be time consuming for managers to try to understand the relationships between the various objects they poll, the Notifications they receive and the problems occurring on the entity. Even after detailed analysis they may still be left with an incomplete picture of what problems are occurring. But, it is important for an operator to be able to determine current problems on a system, so they can be fixed.
This memo describes a method of using alarm management in SNMP to address these problems. It also provides the necessary MIB objects to support this method.
Alarms and other terms related to alarm management are defined in the following sections.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14, RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
Error
A deviation of a system from normal operation.
Fault
Lasting error or warning condition.
Event
Something that happens which may be of interest. A fault, a
change in status, crossing a threshold, or an external input to
the system, for example.
Notification
Unsolicited transmission of management information.
Alarm
Persistent indication of a fault.
Alarm State
A condition or stage in the existence of an alarm. As a minimum,
alarms states are raise and clear. They could also include
severity information such as defined by perceived severity in the
International Telecommunications Union (ITU) model [M.3100] -
cleared, indeterminate, critical, major, minor and warning.
Alarm Raise
The initial detection of the fault indicated by an alarm or any
number of alarm states later entered, except clear.
Alarm Clear
The detection that the fault indicated by an alarm no longer
exists.
Active Alarm
An alarm which has an alarm state that has been raised, but not
cleared.
Alarm Detection Point
The entity that detected the alarm.
Perceived Severity
The severity of the alarm as determined by the alarm detection
point using the information it has available.

Informs & Traps
The subject of alarm management can potentially cover a large number of topics including real-time alarms, historical alarms, alarm correlation, and alarm suppression, to name a few. Within each of these topics, there are a number of established models that could be
supported. This memo focuses on a subset of this problem space, but describes a modular SNMP alarm management framework. Alarms SHOULD be modelled so Notifications are sent on alarm Clear.
The framework defines a generic Alarm MIB that can be supported on its own, or with additional alarm modelling information such as the provided ITU Alarm MIB. In addition, the active alarm tables could also be extended to support additional information about active alarm instances. This framework can also be expanded in the future to support such features as alarm correlation and alarm suppression. This modular architecture means that the cost of supporting alarm management features is proportional to the number of features an implementation supports.
Alarm models document an understanding between a manager and an agent as to what problems will be reported on a system, how these problems will be reported, and what might possibly happen over the lifetime of this problem.
The alarm modelling method provided in this memo provides flexibility to support implementations with different modelling requirements. All alarms are modelled as a series of states that are related together using an alarm ID. Alarm states can be modelled using traditional Notifications, generic alarm Notifications, or without the use of Notifications.
Alarm states modelled using traditional Notifications would specify a Notification Object Identifier, and optionally an (offset, value) pair of one of the Notification varbinds to identify the state. This alarm state would be entered when the entity generated a Notification that matched this information and the alarm would be added to the active alarm table. This Notification would also get sent on the wire to any destinations, as indicated in the SNMP-TARGET-MIB and SNMP-NOTIFICATION-MIB [RFC3413].
Alarm states modelled using generic Notifications use the alarmActiveState or alarmClearState Notifications defined in this memo. These alarm states would be entered after being triggered by a stimulus outside the scope of this memo, the alarm would be added to the active alarm table and these generic Notifications would then be sent on the wire to any destinations, as indicated in the SNMP- TARGET-MIB and SNMP-NOTIFICATION-MIB [RFC3413].
Alarm states modelled without any Notifications would be triggered by some stimulus outside the scope of this memo, the alarm would be added to the active alarm table, but no Notifications would be sent to interested managers.
The Alarm MIB provides a means to determine whether a given notification is of interest to managers for purposes of alarm management by permitting inspection of the alarm models. If no entries in the alarmModelTable could match a particular notification, then that notification is not relevant to the alarm models defined. In addition, information in the alarm model, such as the Notification ID and the description tell exactly what error or warning condition this alarm is indicating. If the ITU-ALARM-MIB is also supported, additional information is provided via the probable cause.
An important goal of alarm management is to ensure that any detected problems get fixed, so it is necessary to know exactly where this problem is occurring. In addition, it is necessary to be able to tell when alarm instances are raised against the same component, as well as to be able to tell what instance of an alarm is cleared by an instance of an alarm clear.
The Alarm MIB provides a generic method for identifying the resource by extracting and building a resource ID from the Notification varbinds. It records the relevant information needed to locate the source of the alarm.
Alarm Information, as defined in ITU alarm models [M.3100], is optionally available to implementations through the optional support of the ITU-ALARM-MIB.
An alarm model can be added and removed during runtime. It can be modified assuming it is not being referenced by any active alarm instance.
A list of currently active alarms and supporting statistics on the SNMP entity can be obtained.
This allows the network management station to find out about any problems that may have occurred before it started managing a particular network element, or while it was out of contact with it.
All aspects of the Alarm MIB can be supported both on the device experiencing the alarms and on any mid-level managers that might be monitoring such devices.
Some systems may have a requirement that information on alarms that are no longer active is available. This memo provides a clear table to support this requirement.
This can also be achieved through the support of the Notification Log MIB [RFC3014] to store alarm state transitions.
Given the nature of VACM, security for alarms is awkward since access control for the objects in the underlying Notifications can be checked only where the Notification is created. Thus such checking is possible only for locally generated Notifications, and even then only when security credentials are available.
For the purpose of this discussion, "security credentials" means the
input values for the abstract service interface function
isAccessAllowed [RFC3411] and using those credentials means
conceptually using that function to see that those credentials allow
access to the MIB objects in question, operating as for a
Notification Originator in [RFC3413].
The Alarm MIB has the notion of a named alarm list. By using alarm list names and view-based access control [RFC3415] a network administrator can provide different access for different users. When an application creates an alarm model (indexed in part by the alarm list name) the security credentials of the creator remain associated with that alarm model and constrain what information is allowed to be placed in the active alarm table, the active alarm variable table, the cleared alarm table, and the ITU alarm table.
When processing locally-generated Notifications, the managed system MUST use the security credentials associated with each alarm model respectively, and MUST apply the same access control rules as described for a Notification Originator in [RFC3413].
The managed system SHOULD NOT apply access control when processing remotely-generated Notifications using the alarm models. In those cases the security of the information in the alarm tables SHOULD be left to the normal, overall access control for those tables.
It is important to understand the relationship between alarms and Notifications, as both are traditional fault management methods. This relationship is modelled using the alarmModelTable to define the alarmModelNotificationId for each alarm state.
Not all Notifications signal an alarm state transition. Some Notifications are simply informational in nature, such as those that indicate that a configuration operation has been performed on an entity. These sorts of Notifications would not be represented in the Alarm MIB.
The Alarm MIB allows the use of the Notification space as defined in [RFC2578] in order to identify the Notifications that are related with the specific alarm state transitions. However there is no assumption that the respective Notifications must be sent for all or any of the alarm state transitions. It is also possible to model alarms using no Notifications at all. This architecture allows for both the efficient exploitation of the body of defined Notification and for the use of non-Notification based systems.
In SNMPv1 [RFC1157], the varbinds in the Trap-PDU sent over the wire map one to one into those varbinds listed in the SMI of the trap in the MIB in which it was defined [RFC1215]. In the case of linkDown trap, the first varbind can unambiguously be identified as ifIndex. With the introduction of the InformRequest-PDU and SNMPv2-Trap-PDU types, which send sysUptime and snmpTrapOID as the first two varbinds, while the SMI in the MIB where the Notification is defined only lists additional varbinds, the meaning of "first varbind" becomes less clear. In the case of the linkDown Notification, referring to the first varbind could potentially be interpreted as either the sysUptime or ifIndex.
The varbind storage approach taken in the Alarm MIB is that sysUptime and snmpTrapOID SHALL always be stored in the active alarm variable table as entry 1 and 2 respectively, regardless of whether the transport was the Trap-PDU, the InformRequest-PDU or the SNMPv2- Trap-PDU. If the incoming Notification is an SNMPv1 Trap-PDU then an appropriate value for sysUpTime.0 or snmpTrapOID.0 shall be determined by using the rules in section 3.1 of [RFC3584].
The varbind reference approach taken in the Alarm MIB is that, for variables such as the alarmModelVarbindIndex, the first two obligatory varbinds of the InformRequest-PDU and SNMPv2-Trap-PDU need to be considered so the index values of the Trap-PDU and the SMI need be adjusted by two. In the case of linkDown, the third varbind would always be ifIndex.
The Alarm MIB is intended to complement the Notification Log MIB [RFC3014], but can be used independently. The alarmActiveTable is defined in manner similar to that of the nlmLogTable. This format allows for the storage of any Trap or Notification type that can be defined using the SMI, or can be carried by SNMP. Using the same format as the Notification Log MIB also simplifies operations for systems choosing to implement both MIBs.
The object alarmActiveLogPointer points, for each entry in the alarmActiveLogTable, to the log index in the Notification Log MIB, if used.
If the Notification Log MIB is supported, it can be monitored by a management system as a hedge against lost alarms. The Notification Log can also be used to support historical alarm management.
During the work and discussions in the Working Group, the issue of the relationship between the MIB modules and the Event MIB [RFC2981] was raised. There is no direct relation or dependency between the Alarm MIB and the Event MIB. Some common terms (like 'event') are being used in both MIB modules, and the user is directed to the sections that define terminology in the two documents for clarification.
The ALARM-MIB consists of alarm models and lists of active and cleared alarms.
The alarmModelTable contains information that is applicable to all instances of an alarm. It can be populated at start-up with all alarms that could happen on a system or later configured by a management application. It contains all the alarms for a given system. If a Notification is not represented in the alarmModelTable, it is not an alarm state transition. The alarmModelTable provides a
means of defining the raise/clear and other state transition relationships between alarm states. The alarmModelIndex acts as a unique identifier for an alarm. An alarm model consists of definitions of the possible states an alarm can assume as well as the Object Identifier (OID) of the Notification associated with this alarm state. The object alarmModelState defines the states of an alarm.
The alarmActiveTable contains a list of alarms that are currently occurring on a system. It is intended that this table be queried upon device discovery and rediscovery to determine which alarms are currently active on the device.
The alarmActiveVariableTable contains the Notification variable bindings associated with the alarms in the alarmActiveTable.
The alarmActiveStatsTable contains current and total raised alarm counts as well as the time of the last alarm raise and alarm clears per named alarm list.
The alarmClearTable contains recently cleared alarms. It contains up to alarmClearMaximum cleared alarms.
The MIB also defines generic alarm Notifications that can be used when there is not an existing applicable Notification to signal the alarm state transition - alarmActiveState and alarmClearState.
The relationship between the Alarm MIB and the other alarm model MIB
modules is expressed by the following: The alarmModelTable has a
corresponding table in the specific MIB. For each row in the
specific MIB alarm model table there is one row in the
alarmModelTable. The alarmActiveTable has a corresponding table in
the specific MIBs. For each row in the specific MIB active alarm
table, there is one row in the alarmActiveTable. The
alarmModelSpecificPointer object in the alarmModelTable points to the
specific model entry in an extended alarm model table corresponding
to this particular alarm. The alarmActiveSpecificPointer object in
the alarmActiveTable points to the specific active alarm entry in an
extended active alarm table corresponding to this particular alarm
instance.
Additional extensions can be defined by defining an AUGMENTATION of either the Alarm or ITU Alarm tables. As the alarm model table only provides a mechanism to point at one specific alarm model, additional specific models SHOULD define another mechanism to map from the generic alarm model to the additional model.
The problem that each alarm indicates is identified through the Object Identifier of the NotificationId of the state transition, and, optionally, the ITU parameters. alarmModelDescription provides a description of the alarm state suitable for displaying to an operator.
The SNMP-TARGET-MIB [RFC3413] provides the ability to specify which
managers, if any, receive Notifications of problems. Solutions can
therefore use the features of this MIB to change the Notification
behaviour of their implementations. Specifying target hosts in this
MIB along with specifying notifications in the
alarmModelNotificationId would allow Notifications to be logged and
sent out to management stations in an architecture as described in
section 3.2. Specifying no target hosts in this MIB along with
specifying notifications in the alarmModelNotificationId would allow
Notifications to be logged but not sent out to management stations in
an architecture as described in section 3.2. Regardless of what is
defined in the SNMP-TARGET-MIB, specifying { 0 0 } in the
alarmModelNotificationId would result in no notifications being
logged or sent to management stations as a consequence of this
particular alarm state transition.
Alarms are modelled by defining all possible states in the alarmModelTable, as well as defining alarmModelNotificationId, alarmModelVarbindIndex, and alarmModelVarbindValue for each of the possible alarm states. Optionally, ituAlarmPerceivedSeverity models the states in terms of ITU perceived severity.
Resources under alarm can be identified using the
alarmActiveResourceId. This OBJECT IDENTIFIER points to an
appropriate object to identify the given resource, depending on the
type of the resource.
The consumer of the alarmActiveResourceId does not necessarily need to know the type of the resource in the resource ID, but if they want to know this, examining the content of the resource ID can derive it
- 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1.something is an interface, for example. It is therefore good practice to use resource IDs that can be consistently used across technologies, such as ifIndex, entPhysicalIndex or sysApplRunIndex, to minimize the number of resource prefixes a manager interested in a resource type needs to learn.
Resource ID can be calculated using the alarmModelResourcePrefix, alarmModelVarbindSubtree and the Notification varbinds. This allows for both the managed element to be able to compute and populate the alarmActiveResourceId object and for the manager to be able to determine when two separate alarm instances are referring to the same resource.
If alarmModelResourcePrefix has a value of 0.0, then
alarmActiveResourceId is simply the variable identifier of the first
Notification varbind that matches the prefix defined in
alarmModelVarbindSubtree. Otherwise, alarmActiveResourceId is
calculated by appending the instance information from the first
Notification varbind that matches alarmModelVarbindSubtree to the
prefix defined in alarmModelResourcePrefix. The instance information
is the portion of the variable identifier following the part that
matched alarmModelVarbindSubtree. If no match is found, then
alarmActiveResourceId is simply the value of
alarmModelResourcePrefix.
In addition to this, the variable bindings from the Notifications that signal the alarm state transitions are stored in the active alarm variable table. This allows for implementations familiar with the particular Notifications to implement other forms of resource identification.
For Example:
A) Consider an alarm modelled using the authenticationFailure [RFC3418] Notification.
authenticationFailure NOTIFICATION-TYPE
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"An authenticationFailure trap signifies that the SNMPv2
entity, acting in an agent role, has received a protocol
message that is not properly authenticated. While all
implementations of the SNMPv2 must be capable of generating
this trap, the snmpEnableAuthenTraps object indicates
whether this trap will be generated."
::= { snmpTraps 5 }
To set the resource ID to be usmStats, 1.3.6.1.6.3.15.1.1, configure as follows:
alarmModelVarbindSubtree = 0.0
alarmModelResourcePrefix = usmStats (1.3.6.1.6.3.15.1.1)
B) Consider an alarm modelled using linkDown [RFC2863]
linkDown NOTIFICATION-TYPE
OBJECTS { ifIndex, ifAdminStatus, ifOperStatus }
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
""
::= { snmpTraps 3 }
To set the resource Id to be the ifIndex, configure as follows:
alarmModelVarbindSubtree = ifIndex (1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1)
alarmModelResourcePrefix = 0.0
Alternatively, since ifIndex is the first varbind, the following would also work, but might be less meaningful to a human reader of the MIB table:
alarmModelVarbindSubtree = 0.0
alarmModelResourcePrefix = 0.0
C) Consider an alarm modelled using the bgpBackwardTransition [RFC1657] Notification.
bgpBackwardTransition NOTIFICATION-TYPE
OBJECTS { bgpPeerLastError,
bgpPeerState }
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The BGPBackwardTransition Event is generated
when the BGP FSM moves from a higher numbered
state to a lower numbered state."
::= { bgpTraps 2 }
To set the resource Id to be the bgpPeerRemoteAddr, the index to the bgpTable, where bgpPeerState resides, configure as follows:
alarmModelVarbindSubtree = bgpPeerState
(1.3.6.1.2.1.15.3.1.2)
alarmModelResourcePrefix = bgpPeerRemoteAddr
(1.3.6.1.2.1.15.3.1.7)
The alarm model table SHOULD be initially populated by the system. The objects in alarmModelTable and ituAlarmTable have a MAX-ACCESS of read-create, which allows managers to modify the alarm models to suit their requirements.
Lists of alarms currently active on an SNMP entity are stored in the alarmActiveTable and, optionally, a model specific alarmTable, e.g., the ituAlarmActiveTable.
Distributed alarm management can be achieved by support of the Alarm MIB on both the alarm detection point and on the mid-level manager. This is facilitated by the ability to be able to store different named alarm lists. A mid-level manager could create an alarmListName for each of the devices it manages and therefore store separate lists for each device. In addition, the context and IP addresses of the alarm detection point are stored in the alarmActiveTable.

not active will not appear in either the alarmActiveTable

cannot be used as an alarm suppression mechanism. Entries
that are notInService will disappear as described in RFC2579.
This row can not be modified while it is being
referenced by a value of alarmActiveModelPointer. In these
cases, an error of `inconsistentValue' will be returned to
the manager.
This entry may be deleted while it is being
referenced by a value of alarmActiveModelPointer. This results
in the deletion of this entry and entries in the active alarms
referencing this entry via an alarmActiveModelPointer.
As all read-create objects in this table have a DEFVAL clause, there is no requirement that any object be explicitly set before this row can become active. Note that a row consisting only of default values is not very meaningful."

This MIB module defines alarm information specific to the alarm model defined in ITU M.3100 [M.3100], X.733 [X.733], and X.736 [X.736]. This MIB module follows the modular architecture defined by the Alarm MIB, in which the generic Alarm MIB can be augmented by other alarm information defined according to more specific models that define additional behaviour and characteristics.
The ituAlarmTable contains information from the ITU Alarm Model about possible alarms in the system.
The ituAlarmActiveTable contains information from the ITU Alarm Model about alarms modelled using the ituAlarmTable that are currently occurring on the system.
The ituAlarmActiveStatsTable provides statistics on current and total alarms.
Over time, there will be a need to add new IANAITUEventType and IANAItuProbableCause enumerated values. The Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) is responsible for the assignment of the enumerations in these TCs.
IANAItuProbableCause value of 0 is reserved for special purposes and MUST NOT be assigned. Values of IANAItuProbableCause in the range 1 to 1023 are reserved for causes that correspond to ITU-T probable cause. All other requests for new causes will be handled on a first-come basis, with 1025.
Request should come in the form of well-formed SMI [RFC2578] for enumeration names that are unique and sufficiently descriptive.
While some effort will be taken to ensure that new enumerations do not conceptually duplicate existing enumerations it is acknowledged that the existence of conceptual duplicates in the starting probable cause list is an known industry reality.
To aid IANA in the administration of probable cause names and values, the OPS Area Director will appoint one or more experts to help review requests.
The following shall be used as the initial values, but the latest values for these textual conventions should be obtained from IANA:

This example demonstrates an interface-based alarm that goes into a
state of "warning" when a linkDown Notification [RFC2863] occurs but
the ifAdminStatus indicates the interface was taken down
administratively. If IfAdminStatus is "up" when the linkDown
Notification occurs, then there is a problem, so the state of the
alarm is critical. A linkUp alarm clears the alarm.

Consider a system able to detect four different temperature states for a widget - normal, minor, major, critical. The system does not have any Notification definitions for these alarm states. A temperature alarm can be modelled using the generic alarm Notifications of alarmClearState and alarmActive.
Consider a system able to detect four different temperature states
for a widget - normal, minor, major, critical. The system does not
have any Notification definitions for these alarm states. A
temperature alarm can be modelled without specifying any
Notifications in the alarm model. When a temperature state other
than normal is detected, an instance of this alarm would be added to
the active alarm table, but no Notifications would be sent out.
This could alternatively be accomplished using the models from example 6.2 and by not specifying any target managers in the SNMP- TARGET-MIB, which would allow the alarm state Notifications to be logged in the Notification Log while still preventing Notifications from being transmitted on the wire. <
