Parameter Description Value
alarm-name Specifies the name of an alarm. The value is a string of 1 to 64 case-sensitive characters, spaces not supported.
severity Specifies the severity level of the alarm. -
critical

Specifies the severity of an alarm to be critical.

Critical: indicates that a service affecting condition has occurred and an immediate corrective action is required. Such a severity can be reported, for example, when a managed object becomes totally out of service and its capability must be restored.

-
major

Specifies the severity of an alarm to be major.

Major: indicates that a service affecting condition has developed and an urgent corrective action is required. Such a severity can be reported, for example, when there is a severe degradation in the capability of the managed object and its full capability must be restored.

-
minor

Specifies the severity of an alarm to be minor.

Minor: indicates the existence of a non-service affecting fault condition and that corrective action should be taken in order to prevent a more serious (for example, service affecting) fault. Such a severity can be reported, for example, when the detected alarm condition is not currently degrading the capacity of the managed object.

-
warning

Specifies the severity of an alarm to be warning.

Warning: indicates the detection of a potential or impending service affecting fault, before any significant effects have been felt. Action should be taken to further diagnose (if necessary) and correct the problem in order to prevent it from becoming a more serious service affecting fault.

-
indeterminate

Specifies the severity of an alarm to be indeterminate.

Indeterminate: indicates that the severity level cannot be determined.

-
cleared

Specifies the severity of an alarm to be cleared.

Cleared: indicates the clearing of one or more previously reported alarms.
