This table refers to “alarms format”.

The “X.733 alarm format” refers to a standardized structure for representing alarms within a network management system, defined by the ITU-T Recommendation X.733, which outlines key elements like the alarm’s severity, probable cause, specific problem, and related entity information, allowing for consistent alarm reporting across different devices and systems.

Key components of an X.733 alarm:

  • Alarm Identifier: A unique code or string identifying the specific type of alarm.
  • Severity: Indicates the criticality of the alarm, usually categorized as critical, major, minor, or warning.
  • Probable Cause: A description of the likely reason for the alarm, providing insight into the root cause.
  • Specific Problem: A detailed explanation of the issue causing the alarm.
  • Entity: The device or system component associated with the alarm.
  • Alarm State: Whether the alarm is active, cleared, or in a transitional state.
  • Timestamp: The time and date when the alarm was generated.

Why X.733 is important:

  • Standardization: provides a common language for alarm reporting, enabling different network management systems to understand and interpret alarms consistently.

  • Interoperability: by adhering to the X.733 format, network devices can exchange alarm information with management systems from various vendors.

  • Efficient Troubleshooting: The detailed information within an X.733 alarm helps operators quickly identify and address network issues
