The Message Networking system collects information that depicts how the system
is used, including data about features, subscribers, communities,
data port loads, and remote messaging traffic. This information
is displayed in real-time dynamic report windows, in Alarm Logs
and Administrator's Logs.
Alarm Logs and Administrator's Logs record events that are useful
for maintaining the system, for diagnosing problems and troubleshooting
the system, and for spotting trends or estimating future needs.
Dynamic windows allow you to watch real-time events in the Message Networking
system.
The system uses the following abbreviations to identify alarm
status:
- M: major alarm
- m: minor alarm
- w: warning alarm
- A: new or unviewed entries in the Administrator's Log
- none: no alarms or unviewed log entries
If you see M, m, or w, look in the Alarm Log for the alarm. You
could have more than one alarm on the system. If you see A, look
in the Administrator's Log. Alarms are documented in the Alarm Log
and the Administrator's Log. Depending on the nature of an alarm,
it can be documented in either the Alarm Log, the Administrator's
Log, or both logs.
The system changes the value in the Alarms: field when the alarm
is resolved. After you view the Administrator's Log, the system
clears the A from the Alarms: field, even if you do not correct
any reported problems.
