D.3 Concept of status
In addition to incident manipulation, the NmsApa service sets status on relevant objects. Status indicates the overall health of an object and is determined from the outstanding conclusions. Every conclusion has a severity associated with it. The status reported is the most severe of all outstanding conclusions. In addition, conclusions inform the user of the root cause (or reason) for an object's status.
The NmsApa service manages the following objects:
SNMP agents
IPv4 addresses
Interfaces
Connections
Nodes
Node groups
The NmsApa service uses the following status categories in decreasing order of severity:
Unknown
Disabled
Critical
Major
Minor
Warning
Normal
No Status
