Perusing and Updating ITO Alarms
ITO is appropriate for managing a reasonably stable group of, say, a few dozen NNM systems. ITO can be scripted to monitor special NNM problem scenarios. The logs generated by this monitoring should be reviewed operationally. A short list of recommendations for ITO monitoring follows:
collection station to management station communications
spinning ovw sessions or other X-Windows clients
syslogd should be active
all NNM daemons should be active (ovstatus)
As you gain operational experience and solve NNM problems, additional checks will be found worthy of automation with ITO.
