The following table describes these attributes and their respective guidelines:
Attributes of an alarm
Attribute Description
Name A meaningful name for the alarm.
The alarm name appears in the GSM Alarm Browser tree and several other locations. By convention, the name
uses Sentence case (as opposed to, for example, Title Case or even ALL CAPS).
URI A unique identifier for the alarm.
This is what uniquely identifies an alarm. Everything else could, potentially, change over time, but if you
change URI, then you have, by definition, created a new alarm. Consequently, alarms with the same URI but
coming from different GSMs are considered to be the same and interchangeable. This is useful and efficient
in terms of scalability and redundancy when coupled with tools such as the GSM Aggregator.
Path Tree path of the alarm
