Elements

The probe breaks event data down into tokens and parses them into elements. Elements are used to assign values to ObjectServer fields; the field values contain the event details in a form that the ObjectServer understands.

The elements that the Probe for Nortel Preside EAI generates depends on the type of message sent by the EAI. The EAI sends the following message types:
  • enroll_ne: Generated when network elements are enrolled in the Nortel EAI system
  • ne_name: Generated when a network element has been renamed
  • ne_type: Generated when the type of a network element has changed
  • raise_alarm: Generated when an alarm has been generated for a network element
  • clear_alarm: Generated when an alarm has been cleared
  • alarm_ak: Generated when an alarm has been acknowledged

The elements that the probe generates for each message type are described in the following topics:
