Enabling the subscription of remote ping down and impaired events

By default, the Global Manager subscribes to the VPN ImpactedByRemotePingFailure event for periodic remote pings but not to the following events for periodic remote pings:

• RemotePing Down

• RemotePing Impaired

  You can edit the dxa-mpls-vpn-ics-monitoring.conf file and enable the subscription of these two events. The line to be edited is:

  #sub RemotePing::.*::.*/e
  

  To enable the subscription of remote ping down and impaired events:

  1. Go to the BASEDIR/smarts/bin directory in the Global Manager installation area and type the following command to open the dxa-mpls-vpn-ics-monitoring.conf file:

                          sm_edit conf/ics/dxa-mpls-vpn-ics-monitoring.conf
                       

  2. Find the following line in the file:

     #sub RemotePing::.*::.*/e 
     

  3. Uncomment the line by removing the # character.

  4. Save and close the file.

     The modified version of the dxa-mpls-vpn-ics-monitoring.conf file is saved to the BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf/ics directory.

  5. If the Global Manager was running before you edited the dxa-mpls-vpn-ics-monitoring.conf file, restart the Global Manager.
