An entry describes an alarm group. An alarm group defines an alarm condition that is raised when a configured number of flows in a set of flows asserts a configured standing condition. The figure below illustrates the relationship between an alarm group, a conditions profile, and a flow set. + | conditions profile 42 | | + | | cfmConditionAlarm.42.9 = 'grouped' |< | | cfmConditionAlarmGroup.42.9 = 4 -+ | | | | + | | | | | + | | | v | | + | alarm group 4 | | | | | | | | cfmAlarmGroupConditionsProfile.4 = 42 | cfmAlarmGroupConditionId.4 = 9 | cfmAlarmGroupFlowset.4 = 16 | | | + | v + | flow set 16 | | | | + | | cfmAlarmGroupFlowId.16.100 | | | + | + | | cfmAlarmGroupFlowId.16.101 | | | + | + | | cfmAlarmGroupFlowId.16.102 | | | + | : | | : | | + | | cfmAlarmGroupFlowId.16.Y | | | + + A device creates a row in the cfmAlarmGroupTable when it configures a new alarm group. Likewise, the device destroys a row when the alarm group ceases to exist.
