Summary of root-cause problems and events

Network Protocol Manager for OSPF diagnoses root-cause problems and detects (computes) events from status updates acquired in the following ways:

• By subscribing to OSPF-relevant status updates from IP Availability Manager

• By using SNMP polling to gather status information from the OSPF-enabled devices

• By extracting status information from SNMP traps that are issued by the OSPF-enabled devices

• By extracting status information from syslog messages that are issued by the OSPF-enabled devices

  Network Protocol Manager for OSPF correlates these events to diagnose root-cause problems.

  Note:

  Events used as symptoms to diagnose a root-cause problem can also be perceived as impacts that are caused by the problem.

  The Global Manager imports:

• All problems that are diagnosed by Network Protocol Manager for OSPF.

• Key events that are detected by Network Protocol Manager for OSPF.

  The root-cause problem notifications (one problem per notification) and the event notifications (one event per notification) are displayed in the Global Console.
