The document outlines the role of OpManager in fault and event management, emphasizing the distinction between reactive and proactive approaches. It describes four key processes: detecting faults through active and passive monitoring, isolating issues via de-duplication and automation, informing admins with alerts and visual representations, and resolving problems using automated tools. OpManager is presented as a comprehensive solution for effective network monitoring and management tailored for mid-sized enterprises.

Role of OpManager in event and fault management
- 1. The Role of OpManager in Event and Fault Management Team OpManager www.opmanager.com
- 2. Agenda Brushing up Fault management Reactive Vs. Pro-active The four processes and OpManager’s role Detect Isolate Inform Resolve
- 3. Reactive Fault Management Firefighting in nature Troubleshooting starts after business is impacted Higher resolution time Least preferred by both IT admins & End users User IT Admin It is not working!
- 4. Proactive Fault Management Alerts on an impending fault Resolution time reduced drastically Reduced operation cost NMS has reported a problem & I’m working on it User IT Admin
- 5. What is Fault and Event Management? Detecting events Make sense of them Present only actionable events *An event can be informational, a cleared event, warning, trouble or even a critical problem
- 7. The four processes explained Active Monitoring Passive Monitoring De-duplication Correlation Automation Visual representation Ticketing Alerting Automatic correction Troubleshooting tools
- 8. Detect – Capture events Active Polling/ Probing/ Query monitoring Active Monitoring: e.g. SNMP Polling Other e.g. of Active polling are monitoring through SNMP, WMI, Telnet, SSH, Custom scripts, Remote query & more…
- 9. Detect – Capture events Passive or Event-based Monitoring Passive Monitoring e.g. SNMP TRAP Other e.g. of Passive monitoring are SNMP TRAPS, Syslog, NetFlow, Packet forwarding & more …
- 10. Isolate – Present actionable faults Helps identify the root cause of the problem quickly; reduces Mean-Time-To-Resolve (MTTR) Includes tasks to Understand event source Filters-out redundant or known events Projects only actionable faults *Network Management System’s Fault management engine plays a vital role
- 11. De-duplication Drops recurrent events from displaying Build them as event history Isolate – Present actionable faults
- 12. De-duplication OpManager Alarms view – Showing unique alerts for every device and type of alarms Detailed alarm history page with list of alarm actions Isolate – Present actionable faults
- 13. Correlation Relates previous events and interdependency Projects only the root cause of the problem Isolate – Present actionable faults
- 14. Correlation OpManager has automated and custom network maps that lets you identify the root cause much quickly. Lets you configure device dependencies to project only the root of the problem Isolate – Present actionable faults
- 15. Automation Ignore incidental events Remove cleared faults Suppress known alarms (Automated/ Manual Suppression) Isolate – Present actionable faults
- 16. Automation Threshold configuration – Consecutive Times and Rearm Value Suppress known alarms – Downtime Scheduler Isolate – Present actionable faults
- 17. Automation Suppress known alarms - Manual suppression for devices and interfaces Isolate – Present actionable faults
- 18. Visual representation of faults to facilitate NOC admins Ticketing and Alert remote admins Inform – Notify admins
- 19. Inform – Notify admins Alarms color coding Web Alarms and Dashboards Dynamic network or custom maps showing the network and device status
- 20. Inform – Notify admins Trouble ticketing Through Email for other helpdesk products Automatic ticket creation with ManageEngine ServiceDesk plus, through integration
- 21. Inform – Notify admins Alert remote admins – Email, SMS, RSS feeds, Twitter Alerts, iPhone/ Smartphone GUI Email RSS Twitter DM Smart Phone UI SMS
- 22. Resolve – Aid faster resolution Needs proprietary knowledge of your IT infrastructure, policies & agreed SLAs. NMS should help Execute such automation logics (Communicate execution faults, if any) Back manual troubleshooting with set of IT tools
- 23. Resolve – Aid faster resolution Automated Fault resolution Run a command or Run a program on a remote machine with options to append error messages Restart Windows service or the server, if the service is found to be down
- 24. Resolve – Aid faster resolution Server Troubleshooting Tools Remote Process Diagnostics Device Tools: Ping, Trace route, Tools to remotely connect to the server – Web console, Telnet/ SSH, MS terminal server
- 25. Resolve – Aid faster resolution Network Troubleshooting Tools Switch Port Mapper Network Traffic Analysis Switch port disabling option
- 26. Resolve – Aid faster resolution Network Troubleshooting Tools WAN link hop-wise latency count graph Network Change and Configuration Management (NCCM)
- 27. Resolve – Aid faster resolution Other Troubleshooting Tools Real-time performance graphs MIB Browser and Syslog viewer
