Node Form: Conclusions Tab

The dynamically generated list of summary statuses of the node that contributed to the current overall Status of the selected node. Status is set by the Causal Engine.

Each Conclusion listed is still outstanding and applies to the current overall Status.

This view is useful for obtaining a quick summary of the Status and problem description for the current node that led up to the node's most current Status.

The Status value is correlated based on the most critical Conclusions.

Double-click the row representing a Conclusion. The Conclusion form displays all details about the selected Conclusion.

The following table describes the possible Conclusions that might appear for a node object.

A Y in the Incident? column indicates that the Conclusion results in an incident.

Critical Status Conclusions

Conclusion	Description	Status	Incident?
CustomPollingOnNodeCritical	At least one Custom Polled Instance associated with the physical node has a Status of Critical.	Critical	N
NodeDown	The NNMi Causal Engine has determined the node is down based on the following analysis: 100% of the addresses assigned to this node are unreachable NNMi is communicating with at least two of the neighboring devices.	Critical	Y
NodeOrConnectionDown	A node is not responding to an ICMP or SNMP query. It also indicates that NNMi is communicating with only one neighbor. Therefore, NNMi cannot determine whether the node or the connection is down.	Critical	Y

Minor Status Conclusions

Conclusion	Description	Status	Incident?
AllUnresponsiveAddressesInNode	None of the addresses associated with the selected node respond to ICMP ping.	Minor	N

ChassisDownOnHostedNode	The Operational State of a Chassis on a Hosted Node is Down.	Minor	N
CustomPollingOnNodeMinor	At least one Custom Polled Instance associated with the physical node has a Status of Minor.	Minor	N
ChassisDownInNode	The Operational State of a Chassis is Down.	Minor	N
InterfacesDownInNode	At least one interface contained in the node has an Operational State of Down.	Minor	N
OneOrMoreCardsDownOnHostedNode	At least one card in a Hosted Node has an Operational State of Down. CardDown only propagates to a Hosted Node when a port hosted on that card is used by an interface associated with the node.	Minor	N
SNMPAgentPingUnresponsiveInNode	The management address on the node is not responding to ICMP.	Minor	N
SomeInterfacesOutsideThresholdBoundariesInNode	At least one interface on the node has a threshold outside the range specified for the device.	Minor	N
SomeUnresponsiveAddressesInNode	At least one, but not all addresses, in the node are not responding to ICMP.	Minor	N
UnresponsiveAgentInNode	The SNMP AgentSimple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet-standard protocol used to manage devices on IP networks. The SNMP Agent uses this protocol to report information to authorized management programs. associated with this node is not responding to SNMP requests.	Minor	N
UnresponsiveWebAgentInNode	The Web AgentThe Web Agent represents a management service running on a device and contains the settings NNMi uses to communicate with the device. associated with this node is not responding to requests.	Minor	N
StackMinorInNode	A Chassis Redundancy Group contained in the Node has a Status of Minor.	Minor	N

Warning Status Conclusions

Conclusion	Description	Status	Incident?
CrgMalfunctionInNode	A Card Redundancy Group in the node has a Status other than Normal.	Warning	N
CustomPollingOnNodeWarning	At least one Custom Polled Instance associated with the physical node has a Status of Warning.	Warning	N
ChassisWarningInNode	One card in a chassis has a status of CardDown, but not all cards are down.	Warning	N
ChassisDegradedInNode	More than one card in a chassis has a status of CardDown. Perhaps all cards have a status of CardDown.	Warning	N
StackDegradedInNode	NNMi has detected that a Chassis Redundancy Group contained in the Node is degraded. See Stack Degraded for more information.	Warning	N

Disabled Status Conclusions (NNMi Advanced)

Conclusion	Description	Status	Incident?
NodePoweredDown	The Power State of the virtual machine is set to  Powered Off. For example: The virtual machine is turned off.	Disabled	Y
NodePaused	The Power State of the virtual machine is set to  Suspended. For example: The virtual machine is paused.	Disabled	Y

Unknown Status Conclusions

Conclusion	Description	Status	Incident?
NodeUnmanageable	The node cannot be reached because NNMi has determined that the node on which it depends to route its traffic is down. This condition is known as “in the shadow”. The status of any node “in the shadow” of a node that is down is always Unknown and the conclusion on each of the nodes in the shadow is NodeUnmanageable.	Unknown	N

Normal Status Conclusions

Conclusion	Description	Status	Incident?
AllInterfacesWithinThresholdBoundariesInNode	All of the interfaces within the selected node are within the allowable threshold range configured by the administrator.	Normal	N
AllResponsiveAddressesInNode	All of the addresses associated with the selected node respond to ICMP ping.	Normal	N
CrgNormalInNode	All Card Redundancy Groups in the node are functioning properly.	Normal	N
CustomPollingOnNodeNormal	All Custom Polled Instances associated with the physical node have a Status of Normal.	Normal	N
InterfacesUpInNode	All interfaces in the node have an Operational State of Up.	Normal	N
NodeUp	The node and its sensors are functioning properly.	Normal	N
ResponsiveAgentInNode	The node’s SNMP AgentSimple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet-standard protocol used to manage devices on IP networks. The SNMP Agent uses this protocol to report information to authorized management programs. is responding.	Normal	N

Multiple Node conclusions can appear for the same node object. For example, if a node is functioning properly and it has monitored addresses, interfaces, at least one card, and a card redundancy group, you would see these conclusions together:

• SNMPAgentResponding
• AllResponsiveAddressesInNode
• InterfacesUpInNode
• CardsUpInNode
• CrgNormalInNode
