You could also use spectrum service manager to achieve this for your TCP port 
responsiveness example. That would have the added advantage of letting you 
choose whether 1 test good, 2 tests bad = service up or service degraded.

Calvin, list,

frankly I don't see how to do this with Event Rules. AFAIK, you can set event 
rate rules on events on the same model, but not across models (that's why we 
call Condition Correlation "cross model correlation", I guess). I have a 
similar problem, but it goes a bit further, since I want to suppress alarms 
until there are in fact two alarms - and these alarms should be compacted into 
one...

Using SPM, I have two Cisco routers testing the same host for some TCP port 
responsiveness (or for that matter anything else those two routers do tests 
against). Those routers are in two completely differing corners of my network, 
and so it happens that one router runs into timeout while the other doesn't. 
That means there is one alarm which is in fact bogus, because the feature the 
router is testing is in fact up and running. One might correlate this in mind - 
"One alarm is okay, two alarms are bad" -, but it would be very helpful to use 
automation to let an alarm rise if and only if there are parallel alarms for 
the same test from both test routers.

One way could be to create a Correlation Domain for each test (which could mean 
driving some hundred domains!) and use the event count feature to suppress the 
SPM test's alarms and assert an alarm on the domain itself. This, in fact, only 
solves my "two alarms for one problem" question but does not suppress the alarm 
if there is only one, which is my main problem.

Hello Dan,

I would probably lean towards Event Rules and not Condition Correlation Editor. 
 Depending on the how the events from those two servers would come in, you 
could create an 'event series', 'event counter', or 'event rate' rule.  This 
would be done in the Event Configuration Editor.  Let me know if you have any 
questions.

I have gone thru the Condition Correlation guide and I am still very confused 
on how to do something I think should be very simple so I need help
or more examples.

I have 2 servers that will send the same trap. However, I want only one alarm. 
The reason is that it is a fault tolerant EMC system and if either server is 
down I need to make sure I still get the alarm but I don't want two of them. I 
have been trying to figure out how to use the CCE but the docs don't have a 
good example.

Anyone have any examples they can share or offer any suggestions?

Thanks,
