Cisco Prime modify/add alarm categories

Hello all,
I'm using prime to manage the failed authentication attempts for a 802.1x environment. I changed the notification severity level to Major so that it would show up in alarms. However, i realized that the alarm category is listed as client and in E-mail notifications for alarms the "Client" category is not listed. Can i modify the list to include the client category ?

Hi,
Same problem here.
I am using Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 (evaluation version for 60 days). I want to deploy port monitoring for my trunk ports between switches and some other important ports e.g. servers. Basically I want to get alarms when these ports are down, there are errors on ports and etc.
So in Design>Port Grouping I created User Defined group with important ports. In Deploy>Monitoring Deployment I selected Interface Health (default)>Deploy selected Port Groups and when selected port group I created.
Now the rule shows Deployed: Yes and Status: Active. After that I just pulled out one port which was in monitored group, waited 5min as it is set in Interface Health (default) template, and nothing happened, and worse, alarms started to show up of other ports where regular users are connected (computers was turned off), which I do not want to see at all. I tried redeploy template, I even created my own template but still no desired result.
Any suggestions how to make port monitoring work?

  • Cisco Prime 'Nouser' device alarms...

    Dear All,
    I have a recently setup Cisco Prime solution running in our test lab with a view to managing various wireless lan controllers and associated AP's. As part of the device management process we are using SNMPv3 but do not want to allow the PRIME v1.2 appliance to use HTTPS or SSH for management. So left this config empty when setting up the device telnet/SSH and HTTP fields when adding our WLC within the device centre.
    We now get the following alarm regularly....Is there any way of avoiding this and disabling the telnet/SSH/HTTP options or is it a MUST DO thing?
    User 'nouser' with IP Address '10.172.198.19' has made too many unsuccessful login attempts.
    Any advice gratefully received.
    Thanks.

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 - web browser freezes when managing rogue APs alarms

    Hello all,
    has anybody faced a freezing problem when you click in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 down on alarm bar and then to Rogue AP alarms and then try to add an annotitation or change a rogue alarm to Friendly?
    I tried it on different PC, different browsers (Firefox 14.0.1. Chrome ...) and the problem is still there.
    Has anybody an idea?
    Thanks.
    Regards

    I just tried it from my lab VM and had no problems.  I use Chrome and the browser does sometimes not refresh for a while but that is just when I start to  click around.

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 Alarms (switch port down)

    We have a cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 managing switches, routers and AP.
    By default, when a port of a switch goes down, the cisco Prime Infrastructre generates a Critical Alarm for that. (this is a problem, because every phone of laptop disconnection will generate a critical alarm for me)
    I found out that if we go to Administration --> Alarm Severity --> Link down, I can change the Alarm from Critical to another type of alarm.(ex: warning)
    The problem is that I want to keep the Critical Alarm for my Uplinks ports and for some important switch ports, and I would like to make the alarm as warning for the normal user ports.
    I know that I can create Port Groupping and add ports to each group and apply monitoring templates on those groups. But This couldn't Help me solving my alarm problem.
    So I just need to know how to manage the alarms severity for each group of ports.
    Thank you

  • FIne Tuning the Cisco Prime Alarms

    HI Expert,
    One of our client having Cisco Wireless LAN infrastructure with Cisco Prime. Currently they are getting more alarms (minor) on their environment.
    They would like to modify the Alarm pattern / threshold to minimise the Alarms pop-up in prime. Could you please advise me how we can modify this ?
    Also do  Cisco having any documents for how to  fine tune ? 
    Thank you.

    Hi 
    Here's the document for the customization of alarms.
    Configuring Alarm Severity Levels
    A newly generated alarm has a default severity level that you might want to change.
    To configure an alarm’s severity level, follow these steps:
    Step 1 Choose Administration > System Settings.
    Step 2 From the left sidebar menu, choose Severity Configuration.
    Step 3 Select the check box of the alarm condition whose severity level that you want to change.
    Step 4 From the Configure Security Level drop-down list, choose a severity level, then click Go.
    Step 5 Click OK to confirm the changes.

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.4 SNMP Traps are not converted into Alarms

    Hi everybody,
    I just configured SNMP Traps on a Cisco Catalyst 3750-x to send to our Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.4 Appliance.
    Now I forced the Switch to send some traps (Power off a Power Supply, Interface errdisable). The only events I see in Alarms & Events on PI is the same information message everytime:
    Configuration management event has been recorded in ccmHistoryEventTable.
    I think the forced traps should be converted into alarms? Why can't I see them?
    Thanks,
    Marc

    Ok, I started debugging as you said. I get the following output:
    Mar 13 09:28:13.711: SNMP: V2 Trap, reqid 11689, errstat 0, erridx 0
     sysUpTime.0 = 198609846
     snmpTrapOID.0 = ciscoSyslogMIB.2.0.1
     clogHistoryEntry.2.1688 = PM
     clogHistoryEntry.3.1688 = 5
     clogHistoryEntry.4.1688 = ERR_RECOVER
     clogHistoryEntry.5.1688 = Attempting to recover from bpduguard err-disable state on Gi1/0/13
     clogHistoryEntry.6.1688 = 198609844
    Mar 13 09:28:13.737: SNMP: Queuing packet to xx.xx.xx.xx
    Looks like the Switch is sending SNMP Traps from the ciscoSyslogMIB. Is this why PI can't show the Traps and convert it into a alarm?
    After this test I configured logging (syslog) to the PI. Now the errors are showed but still not converted into alarms. I just want to be notified by email when such errors occurs.
    Thanks,
    Marc

  • Cisco Prime Infrastructure and no new events / alarms since update to 2.2.1

    Hello,
    I have upgraded our Cisco Prime Infrastructure from version 2.1 to 2.2.1 (with a backup and restore). We have round about 700 APs and three 5208 Controller. So far everything seems to work really fine. The only problem is that there are no new alarms/events under "Monitor", "Alarms and Events".
    The last entries (events and alarms) are dated before the upgrade. Other informations (like client counts for example) are correct.
    Is there a known bug related to my problem? Can anybody help?
    Thanks

    I have done some research:
    I see the following problems in the log-package (downloaded from Prime):

    I think that there is a problem with a too small tablespace. But I can´t fix that. Anybody? ;)

  • Cannot add WLC 5508 7.2.111.3 to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0

    Though the Cisco Prime Infrastructure Compatibility Matrix list out that 7.2.111.3 is supported for PI 2.0
    I am not able to add the controller to the PI 2.0.
    The Reachability Status always shown "Unknow" and SNMP Status always shown "No response for SNMP Get".
    There is no firewall between the WLC and PI.
    And ping test shows it is reachable.
    If I try to add controller by non-management port (I know it is not work but I want to try the reachability), the Reachability Status shown "Reachable" but the SNMP Status always shown error.
    And if I use some SNMP testing software to test the SNMP port. SNMP can be quoted.
    I have try to lower down the "Maximum VarBinds per Get PDU" but no luck.
    Any thing I can do to troubleshoot the problem?

    Yes, I follow the procedure but it does not work.
    Another update:
    I add another WLC with version 7.0.98.0. It is fine.
    And I setup another new PI 2.0 and new temporary WLC5508 with 7.2.111.3 to test. It work fine also......
    So, I am wondering the existing 7.2 WLC have problem in responsing the SNMP Get. But I dont have any idea to test....
    Do anyone have idea to test the snmp connection between PI and WLC?

  • E-mail will be suppressed up to 30 minutes for these alarms. Cisco Prime

    Hi
    I'm trying out the email notification in the cisco prime and encountered this issue.
    E-mail will be suppressed up to 30 minutes for these alarms.
    This causes the other AP's that I restart to not send an notification, and I cannot find a way to remove this email suppression.
    I want all the critical emails to be sent and not get dropped.
    Or am I misunderstanding this? I cant find any threshold to change / disable
    Cisco prime 2.0 fyi
    thanks!

    This is still a problem in Prime 2.0.  I opened a case asking how to change the email suppression time period from 30 minutes to 4 hours so that alarms tripped overnight that won't be acknowledged wouldn't result in a flooded mailbox, and was told this is not a configurable option. So apparently the only "fix" is to turn off the alarm, or change the category to a lesser one that won't result in an email being sent.  I hope in a future release they will decide to make this configurable.

  • Can I add my cisco UCS to my cisco prime 2.0?

    Hi All
    Question
    Can I add my Cisco UCS to my Cisco prime 2.0?

    Out of the box, PI won't do much with a UCS server other than tell you it replies to a ping.
    It's not really designed to manage UCS servers - DCNM and/or UCS Director are the tools for that.
    You could load the UCS server SNMP MIBs and setup some custom queries using that but it'd be more trouble than it's worth in my opinion.
    Here's a link to the page showing supported devices for PI.

  • Cisco Prime 1.2 device interface alarms

    Hello All,
    I am working on Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2.1.012. I have enabled prime to report interface up and down messages.
    But I am seeing some strange messages such as below,
    Alarm Condition:Link down
    Message: Port '{0}' is up on device '{1}'.
    This is happening for some of the interfaces of the switch. For the same switch if there is any interface activity I can see alram message as,
    Message: Port 'GigabitEthernet0/43' is up on device '10.104.xx.xx'
    which is good and undestandable. Why the interface name is shown as {0}?
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Girish

    Just found the solution to the problem!
    Bug ID: CSCuf55719, Incomplete link down detection: Port '{0}' is down on device '{1}'.
    It seems this issue will be fixed in PI 2.0.

  • Including Interface Description in Cisco PRime Infrastructure Alarm Message

    Hi all,
    i succesfully configured a Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 applliance to display an alarm and to send me an e-mail when switch uplink ports goes down.
    The text displayed in alarm message is :
    port 'interface_id' is down on device 'device_ip_address'
    I'd like to include in this text also the interface description so the text will display :
    port 'interface_id'  'interface_descriprion' is down on device 'device_ip_address' 
    Is this possible?
    Thankyou in advance

    Hi,
    i followed these steps :
    SWITCH SIDE
    - configured Prime Infrastructure as snmp-server host;
    - enabled snmp-traps for linkup and linkdown events globally;
    - disabled snmp-traps for linkup and linkdown on non relevant interfaces using the no snmp trap link-status command
    PRIME INFRASTRUCTURE SIDE
    - under "Deploy/Monitor Deployment" i deployed template "Interface Health"  for all the interested switches
    -  under "Administration/System Settings/Mail Server Configuration" configured my internal SMTP server to make Prime Infrastructure able to send e-mails
    - under "Operate/Alarms & Events" click on "Email Notifications" , then on "Switches and Hubs"
       - check the "critical" box ,  insert the destination e-mail address into the "To" field then click "Save"
     -  check the "switches and Hubs" box and then click Save
    As i know is possible to avoid to configure every single not-interesting port on the switches with "no snmp trap link-status" command (it's a bit annoying when you have tens of switches), using Port Grouping configuration on PI but i tried it without success.
    Hope this helps.
    Best Regards,

  • Cisco Prime infrastructure Change severity Switches and hubs - link down alarm

    Hi, I want to change the severity of the link down alarm in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3, but in the menu Administration -> System Settings -> Severity Configuration i can not find the alarm. Some body knows where is it? o where i can change the severity of that alarm?
    Thanks in advanced.

    Hi Rollin and Daniel,
    the first test i did changing the severity was with a new installation, with no devices added and it worked, when i did it in a Prime infrastructure with devices added it didn´t work, well, for this Prime with devices i upgraded it with the patch for 1.3 version and now it works too, the alarms is ok as the alarm severity, this is the link for the patch:
    http://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=284652876&flowid=38562&softwareid=284272933&release=1.3.0&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=all
    i hope this helps,
