Hi Corey,
I appreciate your help sir!
Here is what I am currently doing with python. I am just running this every 5 minutes. Here is the decision block of the python:
#Iterate through each alarm result
for alarms in response:
#Pull Alarm ID specifically so it can be sent to getDeviceName from ID
deviceID = alarms[ 'deviceID' ]
#Call getDeviceName in order to take the alarms deviceID and populate its Hostname in the UIM alarm
deviceHostName = getDeviceName(deviceID)
#If Alarm is No Longer Active Clear it from the UIM Console.
if alarms[ 'ISXCAlarmState' ] == 'RESOLVED' :
#source of alarm
source = deviceHostName
#alarm subsystem id if unsure use 1.1
ss_id = '2.35'
#alarm suppression key
supp_key = alarms[ 'deviceID' ] + '/' + alarms[ 'ISXCElement' ][ 'id' ]
#alarm level e.g. clear, warning, minor, major, critical
level = 'clear'
#alarm message / text detail
msg = alarms[ 'description' ] + 'HAS CLEARED'
#Send Alarm Clear
create_alarm(uim_ws, source, ss_id, supp_key, level, msg)
#Check for Alarm State and Severity to map UIM Severity properly, if Failure then critical alarm
elif alarms[ 'ISXCAlarmState' ] == 'ACTIVE' and alarms[ 'ISXCAlarmSeverity' ] == 'FAILURE' :
#source of alarm
source = deviceHostName
#alarm subsystem id if unsure use 1.1
ss_id = '2.35'
#alarm suppression key
supp_key = alarms[ 'deviceID' ] + '/' + alarms[ 'ISXCElement' ][ 'id' ]
#alarm level e.g. clear, warning, minor, major, critical
level = 'major'
#alarm message / text detail
msg = alarms[ 'description' ]
#Send Alarm
create_alarm(uim_ws, source, ss_id, supp_key, level, msg)
#if Informational alarm then minor alarm in UIM
elif alarms[ 'ISXCAlarmState' ] == 'ACTIVE' and alarms[ 'ISXCAlarmSeverity' ] == 'WARNING' or alarms[ 'ISXCAlarmSeverity' ] == 'INFORMATIONAL' :
#source of alarm
source = deviceHostName
#alarm subsystem id if unsure use 1.1
ss_id = '2.35'
#alarm suppression key
supp_key = alarms[ 'deviceID' ] + '/' + alarms[ 'ISXCElement' ][ 'id' ]
#alarm level e.g. clear, warning, minor, major, critical
level = 'minor'
#alarm message / text detail
msg = alarms[ 'description' ]
#Send Alarm
create_alarm(uim_ws, source, ss_id, supp_key, level, msg)
#If Alarm is No Longer Active Clear it from the UIM Console.
elif alarms[ 'ISXCAlarmState' ] != 'ACTIVE' :
#source of alarm
source = deviceHostName
#alarm subsystem id if unsure use 1.1
ss_id = '2.35'
#alarm suppression key
supp_key = alarms[ 'deviceID' ] + '/' + alarms[ 'ISXCElement' ][ 'id' ]
#alarm level e.g. clear, warning, minor, major, critical
level = 'clear'
#alarm message / text detail
msg = alarms[ 'description' ] + 'HAS CLEARED'
#Send Alarm Clear
create_alarm(uim_ws, source, ss_id, supp_key, level, msg)
So what I am doing is every 5 minutes requesting all alarms as you suggest taking the JSON output and checking each alarm.
Specifically one of the keys I am looking at as I believe you suggest is ISXCAlarmState I am checking that State and if the alarm is RESOLVED than I am sending the clear message to the other tool in order to clear the alarm from that tools alarm console.
I guess my question is, so when an alarm comes in to EDC and lets say its been active for 4 hours. And in that 4 hours the issue has been no fixed. The Device or DCE, does it send another separate JSON record of the alarm to the console with resolved.
Or is it updating the Original alarm record now for the ISXCAlarmState field to now read resolved?
