Hi YinLiYin,

I’m not sure I understood the use case. Are you using a monitor that raises 
alarms A, B, C, D, and E? or does the monitor raise only alarms A and C, and 
the other alarms are deduced alarms created by Vitrage?

In Vitrage templates you can determine causal relationship between different 
alarms. No matter who generated the alarm (Vitrage, Nagios, Zabbix, Aodh…), you 
can model that A is a cause for B etc. You can also model that (B or D) is a 
cause of E.

If you see in Vitrage UI that alarms A, B and E are triggered, you can open the 
Root Casue Analysis view for one of them and see the A->B->E chain. In this use 
case, C and D are not triggered at all, and you will not see them in the UI.

In what use case will you ‘suspect’ A or C? can you describe it in more details?

Best Regards,
Ifat.

Subject: [openstack-dev] [Vitrage] About introduce suspect state of a alarm


Hi all,

    I have a question when learnning vitrage:

    A, B, C, D, E are alarms, consider the following alarm propagation model:

        A --> B

        C --> D

        B or D --> E



    When alarm E is reported by the system, from the above model, we know that 
one or both of the following conditions may be true:

           1. A is trigged

           2. C is trigged

        That is alarm A and C are suspected to be triggered. The suspect state 
of the alarm is valuable for system administrator because

    one could check the system to find out whether the suspected alarms is 
really triggered according to the information.

        In current vitrage template, we could not describe this situation. An 
alarm has only two states: triggered or not triggered.

        Whether we could introduce suspect state for alarms ?
