6-4 Event Policies
Event policies are another medium to introduce custom faults (apart from custom fault policies) into the SST/OB
system. You first need to define a Custom Fault and then create the condition using an Event Policy to set or reset
it. This fault can then be used to create a Standard Policy in the SST/OB Monitoring system. Apart from support
to monitoring, the Event Policies also provide maintaining XPNET object states for objects, for example: Device
Handlers, Line Handlers, Resource nodes, Routers etc. There are a few out-of-the-box Views that help the
Operations staff to determine the Impact of an object going down in terms of Terminals impacted by it.
SST/OB provides the following out-of the-box standard policies specifically for the BASE24 switch application:
• Device Handler Down: This policy sets the device handler down fault on the consumption of the specified
message.
• Device Handler Up: This policy resets the device handler up fault on the consumption of the specified
message.
• Line Process Down: This policy sets the line process down fault on the consumption of the specified
message.
• Line Process Up: This policy resets the line process Up fault on the consumption of the specified message.
• Resource Node Down: This policy sets the resource node down fault on the consumption of the specified
message.
• Resource Node Up: This policy resets the resource node up fault on the consumption of the specified
message.
