====== Troubleshooting - Service Entitlements form not auto adding ======

Author: Michelle McCausland

===== Example Customer Request =====
//Example ticket - ESR-994757//

<code>Support, Tickets 533788 and 535434 and 530987 were created via an SNMP trap. 
When the tickets created, the service entitlement form was not automatically added. Please advise ?</code>

----

===== Solution =====

Some initial items to check to verify correct functioning of this behaviour include:

  - Ensuring there is a network_identifier entry in the network_element table for the affected element
  - Ensuring there is a matching entry for the network_identifier in the service_level_agreement table
  - Ensuring the associated alarm has a trap_knowledge entry with is_service_impacting populated
  - Ensuring the network element associated with the general trap summary has a valid ne_type

**Using 535434 as an example:**

  * Ensuring there is a network_identifier entry in the network_element table for the affected element

<code>SELECT id, name, network_identifier 
FROM snmp_manager.network_element 
WHERE network_identifier = "NC-IL-515NSTATE-VZW"</code>

A number of rows were returned, so this is not the cause of the issue.

   * Ensuring there is a matching entry for the network_identifier in the service_level_agreement table

<code>SELECT * FROM service_level_agreement WHERE network_identifier = "NC-IL-515NSTATE-VZW";</code>

No rows returned, this is the cause of the issue - there is no service level agreement (SLA) for this network!
It is important to inform the customer of this in case this network needs to be configured with an SLA. 

----

If you have reviewed the steps above and this still doesn't reveal the cause of the issue then it is necessary to refer back to the logs to find out more.

**Using 533788 as an example:**

  * Start by reviewing the Ticketer logs for when the ticket was created.

  * As you can see from the first line the RemoteTicketService creates a new ticket, however, it only adds an SNMP Trap form to it. (Reviewing other instances of this in the logs confirmed this expected behaviour)
  * To figure out why this was happening, it was necessary to review the SNMP Manager logs for the same day to find the Remote Ticket creation for this ticket.
  * To do this search for the following: '' SE-AL-AUBURN-HOST22 - ALARM: fwuHstDARTUnderDriveFault '' :

</code>
  * At this stage it was necessary to bring up the SNMP Manager codebase to review what was happening at each step in the logs.
  * The key here in the logs is on lines 4, 5, 6.
  * As the carrier value from the SLA entry was different from the affected carrier in the alarm, the service level agreement did not populate for this alarm.
  * As it turned out the SLA entry for SE-AL-AUBURN-OPN was configured with the wrong carrier_id of AT&T instead of blank.
  * Changing this carrier_id rectified the problem which was confirmed when new tickets started generating for this element with an attached service entitlements form!
  * In this instance we probably investigated a bit too far when we could have just examined the SLA entry in the database. However, in following this approach we learned more about the functioning of this feature which will prove useful for future customer requests.
