To configure aggregate alarms:

  1. At ASAM_BASEDIR/smarts/bin, enter the following command:

    sm_edit conf/alcatel-sam/AggregateAlarms.conf

  2. Edit the alarm, using the following format:

    AggregateAlarm { alarm-alarmName-alarmType-alarmProbableCause <another alarm> <another alarm> }

    The following is an example AggregateAlarms.conf file:

    # This file is where aggregate alarms are configured.
# The file syntax is as follows:
#
# aggregate-alarm { alarm1 alarm2 alarm3 }
#   ^                 ^      ^      ^
#   |                 \      |      /
# The aggregate alarm  \     |     /
#   created in OI       \    |    /
#                        \   |   /
#                         \  |  /
#                      aggregating 5620 alarms
#
#
# The aggregating alarms can be on multiple lines like so:
#
# aggregate-alarm { 
# alarm1
#  alarm2
# alarm3
#   alarm4 }
#
# The '#' character denotes a commented line. Anything on the
# line after the comment is ignored so aggregates can be
# created like so:
#
# aggregate-alarm { alarm-1-2-3 # an example 5620 alarm
#     alarm-2-3-4 # an example 5620 alarm
#      }
#
# Alarms are of the form alarm-alarmName-alarmType-
# alarmProbableCause
# They can also be configured without alarmType and/or
# alarmProbableCause.
# This is useful to aggregate alarms based simply on the
# alarmName.
# A test aggregate. Will form if any of the four 5620 test
# alarms are seen.
# The alarmType and alarmProbableCause are ignored; only the
# alarmName is used
5620TestAggregate { alarm-15-- 
     alarm-16--
     alarm-17-- 
     alarm-18--}
