description
"This module defines an interface for managing alarms. Main
inputs to the module design are the 3GPP Alarm Integration
Reference Point (IRP), ITU-T X.733, and ANSI/ISA-18.2 alarm
standards.
Main features of this module include:
* Alarm list:
A list of all alarms. Cleared alarms stay in
the list until explicitly purged.
* Operator actions on alarms:
Acknowledging and closing alarms.
* Administrative actions on alarms:
Purging alarms from the list according to specific
criteria.
* Alarm inventory:
A management application can read all
alarm types implemented by the system.
* Alarm shelving:
Shelving (blocking) alarms according
to specific criteria.
* Alarm profiles:
A management system can attach further
information to alarm types, for example,
overriding system-default severity
levels.
This module uses a stateful view on alarms. An alarm is a state
for a specific resource (note that an alarm is not a
notification). An alarm type is a possible alarm state for a
resource. For example, the tuple:
('link-alarm', 'GigabitEthernet0/25')
is an alarm of type 'link-alarm' on the resource
'GigabitEthernet0/25'.
Alarm types are identified using YANG identities and an optional
string-based qualifier. The string-based qualifier allows for
dynamic extension of the statically defined alarm types. Alarm
types identify a possible alarm state and not the individual
notifications. For example, the traditional 'link-down' and
'link-up' notifications are two notifications referring to the
same alarm type 'link-alarm'.
With this design, there is no ambiguity about how alarm and
alarm clear correlation should be performed; notifications that
report the same resource and alarm type are considered updates
of the same alarm, e.g., clearing an active alarm or changing
the severity of an alarm. The instrumentation can update the
severity and alarm text on an existing alarm. The above alarm
example can therefore look like the following:
(('link-alarm', 'GigabitEthernet0/25'),
warning,
'interface down while interface admin state is up')
There is a clear separation between updates on the alarm from
the underlying resource, like clear, and updates from an
operator, like acknowledging or closing an alarm:
(('link-alarm', 'GigabitEthernet0/25'),
warning,
'interface down while interface admin state is up',
cleared,
closed)
Administrative actions like removing closed alarms older than a
given time is supported.
This YANG module does not define how the underlying
instrumentation detects and clears the specific alarms. That
belongs to the Standards Development Organization (SDO) or
enterprise that owns that specific technology.
The key words 'MUST', 'MUST NOT', 'REQUIRED', 'SHALL', 'SHALL
NOT', 'SHOULD', 'SHOULD NOT', 'RECOMMENDED', 'NOT RECOMMENDED',
'MAY', and 'OPTIONAL' in this document are to be interpreted as
described in BCP 14 (RFC 2119) (RFC 8174) when, and only when,
they appear in all capitals, as shown here.

type is a simplification of the different X.733 and 3GPP Alarm
IRP correlation mechanisms, and it allows for
hierarchical extensions.
A string-based qualifier can be used in addition to the
identity in order to have different alarm types based on
information not known at design time, such as values in
textual SNMP Notification varbinds.
Standards and vendors can define sub-identities to clearly
identify specific alarm types.

type string;

}
description
"This is an identification of the alarming resource, such as an
interface. It should be as fine-grained as possible to both
guide the operator and guarantee uniqueness of the alarms.
If the alarming resource is modeled in YANG, this type will
be an instance-identifier.
If the resource is an SNMP object, the type will be an
'object-identifier'.
If the resource is anything else, for example, a distinguished
name or a Common Information Model (CIM) path, this type will
be a string.
If the alarming object is identified by a Universally Unique
Identifier (UUID), use the uuid type. Be cautious when using
this type, since a UUID is hard to use for an operator.
If the server supports several models, the precedence should
be in the order as given in the union definition.";
}
typedef resource-match {
type union {
type yang:xpath1.0;
type yang:object-identifier;
type string;
}
description
"This type is used to match resources of type 'resource'.
Since the type 'resource' is a union of different types, the
'resource-match' type is also a union of corresponding types.
If the type is given as an XPath 1.0 expression, a resource
of type 'instance-identifier' matches if the instance is part
of the node set that is the result of evaluating the XPath 1.0
expression. For example, the XPath 1.0 expression:
/ietf-interfaces:interfaces/ietf-interfaces:interface
[ietf-interfaces:type='ianaift:ethernetCsmacd']
would match the resource instance-identifier:
/if:interfaces/if:interface[if:name='eth1'],
assuming that the interface 'eth1' is of type
'ianaift:ethernetCsmacd'.
If the type is given as an object identifier, a resource of
type 'object-identifier' matches if the match object
identifier is a prefix of the resource's object identifier.
For example, the value:
1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2
would match the resource object identifier:
1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1.5
If the type is given as an UUID or a string, it is interpreted
as an XML Schema regular expression, which matches a resource
of type 'yang:uuid' or 'string' if the given regular
expression matches the resource string.
If the type is given as an XPath expression, it is evaluated
in the following XPath context:
o The set of namespace declarations is the set of prefix
and namespace pairs for all YANG modules implemented by
the server, where the prefix is the YANG module name and
the namespace is as defined by the 'namespace' statement
in the YANG module.
If a leaf of this type is encoded in XML, all namespace
declarations in scope on the leaf element are added to
the set of namespace declarations. If a prefix found in
the XML is already present in the set of namespace
declarations, the namespace in the XML is used.
o The set of variable bindings is empty.
o The function library is the core function library, and
the functions are defined in Section 10 of RFC 7950.
o The context node is the root node in the data tree.";
