 +====== Device Missing Alarm Handling ======
 +
 +Author: Yanjun Wang
 +
 +===== Device Missing Alarm =====
 +
 +Device Missing Alarm from the IDMS is to alert users that a trap was received and processed which referenced an unknown child network element. Unknown meaning there is no such child element under the particular controller in the SNMP-Manager knowledgebase. (this alarm can be assigned to the controller level at this stage depending on the trap rule)
 +
 +The purpose of Device Missing Alarm is informing IDMS users to investigate if a new network element was loaded onto the controller but the Errigal IDMS Knowledge-base was not updated with this information.
 +
 +----
 +
 +===== How does IDMS create Device Missing Alarm =====
 +
 +  * In trap specific trap rule
 +  * Based on the IP address with the trap, identify controller in the knowledgebase
 +  * Combine child element name in the trap rule based on the information provided in the trap varbind, and try to find the element per the child name under the controller
 +  * If the child element cannot be found, send a Device Missing Alarm from trap rule to IDMS
 +

 +
 +  * Identify a Device Missing Alarm by checking the Alarm Name on a General Trap Summary(as above).
 +  * Check the Alarm Identifier, if it's DiscoveredNameMatchingFailed, check the RemoteDiscoveryScript - Topology Discovery script could be an issue with the script 
 +  * Login to the remote controller with the Hub IP on General Trap Summary or other tools, verify the element is on the remote side. *If the element is now on the remote controller, it may be a trap issue then, please contact Errigal Support.
 +  * Get the controller name and child element name(equipmentIdentifier) on the General Trap Summary 
 +  * Check the child element under the controller on EMS Host Tree or download the spreadsheet of the controller from Excel Loading: Export Hub with Nodes, check if the child element is missing from the knowledgebase.
 +  * Add the missing child element through Excel Loading sheet.
 +  * Clear the Device Missing Alarm in Node Monitor.
 +  * For other issues which are not able to resolve with above steps, could be either trap tule issue or RemoteDiscoveryScript issue.
