Hi Saurabh-
     I usually run once a month by month end or sometimes as-needed few queries 
to see what events are generated and what devices are generating top-most 
events.

WHAT EVENTS:
./mysql -uroot -proot ddmdb
SELECT type, count(*) as c from event where utime > UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2012-02-07 
00:00:01') and utime < UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2012-02-07 23:59:59') group by type 
order by c desc;
OR;
SELECT hex(model_h), count(*) as c into outfile 'd:/mysqloutput.out' from 
ddmdb.event where utime >UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2012-02-09 00:00:00') and utime < 
UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2012-02-10 23:59:59')and type=66305 group by hex(model_h) order 
by c desc;

TOP-MOST EVENTS by DEVICES:
mysql -uroot -proot ddmdb -e "select hex( type ), hex( e.model_h ), 
m.model_name, count( * ) as cnt from event e, model m where e.model_h = 
m.model_h group by type, e.model_h order by cnt desc limit 750"

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. Thank 
you.
     Cheers, Ali

Subject: [spectrum] Events Management

Hello Experts,

I want to know get some ideas how Spectrum administrators do Event management. 
Once in a while I usually see Archive experts Event Table - Average Daily 
Growth section. Yesterday after three weeks from my last observation I noticed 
that there was an increase of 70 Mbpd. Not many devices had been added to 
Spectrum in last few days, so I started digging the cause of increase and 
things started getting interesting.


1.       We were getting a lot of Authentication failure traps (Event 0x1030a) 
60-75 K traps per day from few of our servers and switches (non-cisco), however 
no alarm were generated in Spectrum.

2.       Several ports in the environment were flapping, however they were 
below the threshold of Link up/down alarm, so un-noticed.

3.       We have so many different types of devices in our environment that 
it's difficult to keep up with all the MIBs and evaluate every trap. One device 
which was recently upgraded suddenly started sending 100K + traps a day which 
was unmapped hence went un-noticed.

So, before I go crazy and re-invent the wheel, I want to hear from the experts 
how do you find issues in your environment for which you might be collecting 
data however goes undetected like few scenarios described above.

Thanks,
