Cisco Notif Ctrl Table

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.586.1.1.7

This table represents the notifications to be controlled. To control a particular notification, user creates a row uniquely indexed by cNotifCtrlIndex using the cNotifCtrlRowStatus object. The storage type of each row is indicated by cNotifCtrlStorageType. The agent filters out the notification depending on the current value of cNotifCtrlMode. The agent also indicates the current state of notification control through cNotifCtrlCurrentState. This notification control mechanism is illustrated as follows. cNotifCtrlTable contains the list of notifications, that need to be controlled from the agent when cNotifCtrlCurrentState is 'controlOn'. When cNotifCtrlMode is set to 'automaticControl', a timer is started for the time interval represented by cNotifCtrlSamplingInterval(eg: 10 mins) to monitor the number of notifications being generated by the agent. If the number of notifications generated exceeds the value represented by cNotifCtrlThreshold (eg: 100) before the timer expires, all notifications mentioned in cNotifCtrlTable are throttled. When the timer expires, it is restarted and the counter used to track the number of notifications generated is initialized to zero. This controlling of notifications will continue until the number of notifications generated falls below the threshold in the given interval. When cNotifCtrlMode is set to 'forcedControl', all the notifications mentioned in cNotifCtrlTable are always throttled, irrespective of the values of threshold and sampling interval.
