Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Nortel CNM Reference Guide6
Filtering notifications and alarms
The NotificationFilter and AlarmFilter properties allow you to specify what
notifications and alarms the probe expects from the device. When you use these properties,
you must use the actual token names. For example, the token h represents the element
NV_PERCEIVED_SEVERITY; so, to specify that the probe is only sent notifications with a
perceived severity of 3, you must set the NotificationFilter property to $h == 3.
You can specify more complex filters using and and or statements; for example, to specify
that the probe is sent notifications with a perceived severity of 3 or 4, you must set the
NotificationFilter property to $h == 3 or $h == 4.
Note: The filtering of elements sent from the device can only be configured at the Nortel
CNM 3GPP2 (CORBA). For details of the syntax required for filtering the object
classes refer to your CORBA documentation, or contact your system administrator.
Table 3 displays the token mappings for use with the AlarmFilter and
NotificationFilter properties.
