NETI-EVT-MIB

MIB containing event and alarm information. The MIB contains tables for events and alarms, and defined notifications for events and alarms. nevtEventTable. Table with the last number of events. The event table contains the events that are sent as SNMP notifications. These events indicate change of alarms, or change in other tables defined in other MIBs, that uses the mechanism in this MIB to notify a table change. If a notification receiver misses notifications, it can retrieve the lost notifications from this table. nevtAlarmTable. Table with all active alarms, and the last historic alarms. The alarm table holds all active alarms, and possibly also a number of the last cleared alarms. nevtActiveAlarmTable. Table will all active (non-clear) alarms. The active alarm table holds only the active alarms.

Added objects for holding purpose text of managed object; nevtEventPurpose, nevtAlarmPurose and nevtActiveAlarmPurpose. The objects are added to nevtEventTable, nevtAlarmTable and the nevtActiveAlarmTable and to all event and alarm notification. The nevtTrapPurpose has been marked as obsoleted. Corrected spelling on descriptions. Removed the Conformance group. Removed dependency and import from NETI-COMMON-MIB.

This MIB replaces the NETI-EVENT-MIB. This MIB has the same objects as the NETI-EVENT-MIB, revision 201105031000Z, but this MIB registers new descriptor for each of the objects. This violates RFC2578, ch 3.6, item 1, where it is stated that only one descriptor can be registered to an object. However, item 2 states that it is allowed to assign additional descriptors to an object, from which it follows that any object can be referred to by different descriptors. The NETI-EVENT-MIB contains registered descriptors that are in conflict with descriptors in other standard MIBs. This conflict can cause problems in network management systems that rely on that a descriptor uniquely identifies a single object. The least costly solution to this problem this was determined to be to simply register new descriptors for all objects. All the objects in this MIB are binary compatible with the descriptions in NETI-EVENT-MIB, meaning that any network management system may choose to continue to use the NETI-EVENT-MIB, or to use this NETI-EVT-MIB.
