Thresholds in the Global Network Management Environment

(NNMi Advanced) When using the NNMi Global Network Management feature: Configure thresholds carefully as follows:

  • Monitoring Configuration: Interface Group and Node Group thresholds are configured on each NNMi management server (Regional or Global) that is responsible for the objects being monitored (Interface, Node, Node Sensor, Physical Sensor). The threshold results are automatically communicated from Regional Managers to Global Managers (but not visa versa):

  • Custom Poller Collection thresholds are configured on the NNMi management server (Regional or Global) that is responsible for the objects being monitored. The results are not communicated to other NNMi management servers.

    Tip Although Custom Polled Instances are not sent from a Regional Manager (NNMi management server) to the Global Manager. From the Global Manager, users can access that information by opening the monitored object's form and clicking ActionsOpen from Regional Manager to see the list of Custom Polled Instances on the Regional Manager.

  • Trap volume/forwarding is configured on each NNMi management server (Regional or Global).
