    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Configuring AAA Accounting Message Archive Size Threshold

    Use the following example to configure the accounting message archive size threshold:

    configure

    threshold aaa-acct-archive-size[ clear]

    threshold poll aaa-acct-archive-size interval

    threshold monitoring aaa-acct-archive-size

    22

    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.

    Configuring AAA Accounting Message Archive Queue Size Threshold

    Use the following example to configure the accounting message archive queue size threshold:

    configure

    session registration response failures, discarded interface registration requests, discarded network entry registration

    acknowledgments for ASN GW services.

    Alerts or alarms are triggered for these ASN GW thresholds based on the following rules:

    Enter condition:When the actual average of call setups or actual number of failures or discards passes, or is

    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

    the Threshold value the alert or alarm is cleared.

    If a trigger condition occurs within the polling interval, the alert or alarm is not generated until the end of the polling

    interval.

    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.

    10-second Average of Total Processing Card CPU Utilization

    Thresholds10-second average of total CPU utilization thresholds generate alerts or alarms based on a 10 second average of cpu

    utilization for all processing card CPUs during the specified polling interval.

    Alerts or alarms are triggered for 10-second average of total CPU utilization based on the following rules:

    Enter condition:Average measured amount of total CPU utilization for the last 10 seconds > or = High

    Threshold

    Clear condition:Average measured amount of total CPU utilization for the last 10 seconds < 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.
