Data acquisition
Each probe uses a different method to acquire data. Which method the probe uses depends on the target system from which it receives data.
The Probe for Samsung BSM connects
to a Samsung Base Station Manager device
using the DNS of the device host and the port number through which
the host accepts Telnet connections. The DNS and port number values
are specified using the Host and Port properties
in the properties file. Once the device is connected to the probe,
the alarm events start flowing automatically to the probe and are
then parsed to create appropriate tokens. While parsing, the probe
reads one event at a time using \030 as the start
delimiter, and \031 as the event terminator.
- Normal alarm
- Fault message
- Status message
The probe discards events of all other types.
