Because its topology contains proxy objects of overlapping elements from Optical Transport Manager and IP Manager, XD Manager OTM to IP also receives events that effect these elements. Events are cross-correlated and forwarded to Service Assurance Manager.
The VMware Smart Assurance XD Manager OTM to IP uses remote repository accessories to receive events from a Optical Transport Manager OTM Analysis server and the IP Manager. When events are received, these events are translated to set boolean attributes indicating the state of the device or connection. The following tables show events which are subscribed to and received by the XD Manager OTM to IP, and the corresponding attributes which are set as a result:
