Chapter 1Thresholding Overview
Thresholding on the system is used to monitor the system for conditions that could potentially cause errors or outage.
Typically, these conditions are temporary (i.e. high CPU utilization, or packet collisions on a network) and are quickly
resolved. However, continuous or large numbers of these error conditions within a specific time interval may be
indicative of larger, more severe issues. The purpose of thresholding is to help identify potentially severe conditions so
that immediate action can be taken to minimize and/or avoid system downtime.
The following thresholding models are supported by the system:
Alert:A value is monitored and an alert condition occurs when the value reaches or exceeds the configured high
threshold within the specified polling interval. The alert is then generated and/or sent at the end of the polling
interval.In the example shown in the figure below, this model generates alerts during period 2, 3, and 5 at the point
where the count exceeded HT.
Alarm:Both high and low thresholds are defined for a value. An alarm condition occurs when the value reaches
or exceeds the configured high threshold within the specified polling interval. The alert is then generated
and/or sent at the end of the polling interval.
The alarm is cleared at the end of the first interval where the measured value is below the low threshold.
In the example shown in in the figure below, this model generates an alarm during period 2 when the count
exceeds HT. A second alarm is generated in period 6 when the count falls beneath LT. The second alarm
indicates a clear condition.

Important: Note that for certain values, the alert or alarm serves to warn of low quantities (i.e. memory, sessionlicenses, etc.). In these cases, the low threshold is the condition that must be met or exceeded within the polling intervalto generate the alert or alarm. Once the high threshold is exceeded during an interval, the low quantity condition iscleared.

Thresholding reports conditions using one of the following mechanisms:
SNMP traps:SNMP traps have been created that indicate the condition (high threshold crossing and/or clear) of
each of the monitored values. Complete descriptions and other information pertaining to these traps is located
in the starentMIB(8164).starentTraps(2) section of the SNMP MIB Reference.
The generation of specific traps can be enabled or disabled on the system allowing you to view only those traps
that are most important to you.

Logs:The system provides a facility called threshold for which active and event logs can be generated. As with
other system facilities, logs are generated Log messages pertaining to the condition of a monitored value are
generated with a severity level of WARNING.
Refer to the System Administration Guide for additional information on system logging functionality.
Alarm System:High threshold alarms generated within the specified polling interval are consideredoutstanding until a the condition no longer exists and/or a condition clear alarm is generated.
Outstanding alarms are reported to through the systems alarm subsystem and are viewable through the
systems CLI.

Threshold monitoring can be enabled for the AAA-related values described in the following table.
Value Description To configure, go to section:
Archive size Enables the generation of alerts or alarms based on the number of AAA(RADIUS and/or GTPP) accounting messages archived during thepolling interval.
AAA Accounting MessageArchive Size Thresholds
Archive Queue size Enables the generation of alerts or alarms per Session Manager instancebased on the queue size for AAA (RADIUS and/or GTPP) accountingmessages being archived during the polling interval.
AAA Accounting MessageArchive Queue SizeThresholds
Accounting Failures Enables the generation of alerts or alarms based on the number of failedAAA accounting requests that occur during the polling interval.
AAA Accounting FailureThresholds
Accounting FailureRate
Enables the generation of alerts or alarms based on the percentage ofAAA accounting requests that failed during the polling interval.
AAA Accounting FailureRate Thresholds
AuthenticationFailures
Enables the generation of alerts or alarms based on the number of failedAAA authentication requests that occur during the polling interval.
AAA Authentication FailureThresholds
AuthenticationFailure Rate
Enables the generation of alerts or alarms based on the percentage ofAAA authentication requests that failed during the polling interval.
AAA Authentication FailureRate Thresholds
Retry Rate Enables the generation of alerts or alarms based on the percentage ofAAA requests (both accounting and authentication) that were re-tried
during the polling interval.
AAA Request MessageRetry Rate Thresholds
AAA ManagerRequest Queue Usage
Enables the generation of alarms or alerts when the AAA Managerrequest queue usage reaches a specified percentage level.

Saving Your Configuration
When you configure thresholds they are not permanent unless you save the changes. When you have completedconfiguring thresholds, save your configuration to flash memory, an external memory device, and/or a network location
using the Exec mode command save configuration. For additional information on how to verify and save
configuration files, refer to the System Administration Guideand the Command Line Interface Reference.

AAA Thresholds

AAA Accounting Message Archive Size ThresholdsIn the event that the system cannot communicate with configured AAA accounting servers (RADIUS or CGFs), either
due to the server being busy or loss of network connectivity, the system buffers, or archives, the accounting messages.
Accounting message archive size thresholds generate alerts or alarms based on the number of AAA accounting
messages buffered in the archive during the specified polling interval. Accounting requests are counted for all AAA
accounting servers that the system is configured to communicate with.
Alerts or alarms are triggered for accounting message archive size threshold based on the following rules:
Enter condition: Actual number of archived messages > or = High Threshold
Clear condition: Actual number of archived messages < Low Threshold
If a trigger condition occurs within the polling interval, the alert or alarm will not be generated until the end of the
polling interval.

AAA Accounting Message Archive Queue Size Thresholds
Thresholding Configuration Guide, StarOS Release 17

AAA Accounting Message Archive Queue Size ThresholdsThe Session Manager can buffer around 26400 CDRs per Session Manager instance in ASR5K. Once the above limit is
breached the oldest CDRs will be purged to make room for the new CDRs. Since purging can happen as soon as theSession Manager queue size reaches the maximum allowed limit, there is a need for the alarms to be generated during
this scenario.
Accounting message archive queue size thresholds generate alerts or alarms per Session Manager instance based on the
queue percentage of accounting messages archived in the buffer. The alarm will typically be generated when the
message archival begins, and as and when the buffer is filled up to say, 25%, 50% and 90% during the specified polling
interval.
Important: AcctArchiveStarted trap will be generated if the queue size exceeds 15% of the maximum number ofsession manager items per instance. The queue size is indicative of the maximum of ACS manager queue size andsession manager queue size.
Alerts or alarms are triggered for accounting message archive queue size thresholds based on the following rules:
Enter condition: Actual queue percentage of archived messages > or = High Threshold
Clear condition: Actual queue percentage of archived messages < Low Threshold
If a trigger condition occurs within the polling interval, the alert or alarm will not be generated until the end of the
polling interval.

equal to, the configured Threshold value an alert or alarm is set.
Clear condition:When the actual average of call setups or actual number of failures or discards passes below

Warning-level alerts or alarms are triggered for CPU usage by the ORBs software task based on the following rules:
Enter condition: Actual CPU usage percentage > High Threshold
Clear condition: Actual CPU usage percentage = or < Low Threshold
