Configuring Geo database replication for alarming

Last Updated : Aug 20, 2021 |

About this task

The SNMP alarm notifies you of a Geo streaming failure on the crunchy database. An SQL query that returns the Geo status triggers the alarm every set period. Enable the alarm only for Geo sites. You need to enable the alarm on the Primary and DR Geo sites. Both sites can trigger the alarm independently. You can receive the alarm twice at the SNMP destination. The alarm log is located at /var/log/avaya/ccm/analytics_geo_db.log.

You can enable or disable the alarm using the Analytics Administration script.

Note:

Disable the alarm before the known network outages or scheduled maintenance windows to the Avaya Analytics™ database and enable the alarm after that.

Before you begin

Configure the SNMP destination to receive alarms and send a test alarm to confirm it is working. For steps on configuring the SNMP alarm destination, see Configuring and deleting SNMP alarm destinations.
