2 About the Cartridge Components

This chapter provides information about the components of the Oracle Communications Network Integrity Generic SNMP cartridge.

The Generic SNMP cartridge contains the following action:

Discover Generic SNMP Action

Discover Generic SNMP Action

The Discover Generic SNMP action scans generic devices and provides a physical and logical hierarchical model of what is discovered. This action also models the associations between the physical and logical hierarchies.

This discovery action extends the Discover MIB-II SNMP action (from the MIB-II SNMP cartridge) and inherits all its processors. For information about the inherited processors, see Network Integrity MIB-II SNMP Cartridge Guide.

This action also extends the Abstract CPU Utilization Discovery action (from the NetworkIntegritySDK cartridge) to provide CPU utilization enabled discovery. For information about the processors inherited from the Abstract CPU Utilization Discovery action, see Network Integrity Developer's Guide.

The Discover Generic SNMP action contains the following processors that run in the order listed as follows:

  1. CPU Property Initializer (inherited)

  2. Generic Device CPU Set Processor

  3. CPU Utilization Compare Processor (inherited)

  4. MIB II Properties Initializer (inherited)

  5. DI Name remodel Initializer (inherited)

  6. MIB II SNMP Collector (inherited)

  7. MIB II SNMP Modeler (inherited)

  8. Generic SNMP Logical Collector

  9. Generic SNMP Logical Modeler

  10. DI Name Remodeler (inherited)

  11. Generic SNMP Physical Collector

  12. Generic SNMP Physical Modeler

Generic Device CPU Set Processor

This processor is used to set the device's CPU utilization threshold value, which is collected by the CPU Collector custom processor created by Network Administration when enabling the CPU Utilization feature.

To enable CPU Utilization feature, see "CPU Utilization-enabled Discovery".

Generic SNMP Logical Collector

This processor collects asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) data from the device. For more information, see "About Poll Lists".

Generic SNMP Logical Modeler

This processor models the data collected from the Generic SNMP Logical Collector.

Generic SNMP Physical Collector

This processor collects the physical aspects (such as chassis, container, module, port) of the device. For more information, see "About Poll Lists".

Generic SNMP Physical Modeler

This processor models the data collected from the Generic SNMP Physical Collector.

Detect Generic Device UIM Discrepancies

The Detect Generic Device UIM Discrepancies action detects discrepancies between discovery scan results of the action Discover Generic SNMP Device and data imported from UIM.

This discrepancy detection action extends the Abstract Detect UIM Discrepancies action (from the UIM Integration cartridge) and inherits all its processors. For information about the inherited processors, see Network Integrity UIM Integration Cartridge Guide.

The Detect Generic Device UIM Discrepancies action contains the following processors that run in the following order:

  1. UIM Discrepancies Filter Initializer (inherited)

  2. Discrepancy Detector (inherited)

Resolve Generic Device in UIM

The Resolve Generic Device in UIM action resolves discrepancies on logical and physical hierarchies and associations between the logical and physical entities in UIM.

The discrepancy resolution action extends the Abstract Resolve in UIM action (from the UIM Integration cartridge) and inherits all its processors. For information about these inherited processors, see Network Integrity UIM Integration Cartridge Guide.

The Resolve Generic Device in UIM action contains the following processors that run in the following order:

  1. UIM Resolution Framework Initializer (inherited)

  2. UIM Resolution Initializer (inherited)

  3. UIM Resolution Framework Dispatcher (inherited)
