This is why people buy tools like Netcool.

To monitor this, you will need to write a daemon that will start the connection, and then parse eash response as it comes back, or maybe just log it. Nortel should have a manual available that tells you what fields are being sent.

You can probably write a logger with a few lines of Perl -- just don't ask me to how do it. There are probably 12 CPAN modules to help you do this. But if you could get a logger, then you could have Hobbit watch the log for interesting phrases like the "Overhead Link Failure" that appears in the bottom of your output.

Subject: [hobbit] Nortel EAI script



I have an OMEA server and my company ordered an option tagged

EAI which stands for "External Alarm Interface". It requires a straight telnet session to the server and then sends out ASCII txt. I am curious if anyone has dealt with something similar to this or has any ideas about it. Listed below is an example of the data received.

You need to have the telnet session stay up 24/7 in order to get

the data.

Thanks in Advance,
