About UEM
UEM (Unified Event Manager) is a standard part of the Motorola 7.x NM platform. The UEM displays alarms and conditions that exist with network hardware and it can be configured to send notifications about those alarms.
How Genesis Fits In
The Genesis UEM enhancement is an additional piece of software on our GenGET solution, but no additional hardware is required. The solution receives the UEM traps through a connection to the NBI (North Bound Interface) and archives every trap and alert from the UEM along with traps and alerts from any other SNMP enabled network device you designate into Genesis databases for as long as is desired for reporting purposes.
The Event Geographic Locator, known as EGLView, is a modular enhancement for the UEM enhancement. Used with Google™ Earth, EGLView provides live views of site conditions, such as
triggered events or alarms. It adds
another layer to the Google Earth mashup to display live atmospheric
conditions, such as rainfall, hail and lightning strikes, weather forecasts, as well as traffic and other information...all from one user interface. When a storm is brewing, EGLView will show how all sites are affected. Each colored icon (green, yellow or red, depending upon severity) represents a tower site. Clicking on an icon will open an expandable tree view to
view detailed information on a site. More than simple eye candy, EGLView is a valuable asset to any
control room or network operations center.
UEM Enhancement for ASTRO 25
Forensic Reporting on Archived Data and Live Views from the UEM on ASTRO 25 Networks
The Genesis UEM enhancement extends the functionality of the Motorola UEM in several ways. Like other Motorola reporting tools, the UEM is meant to be an immediate diagnostic tool but is not built to archive every detail of reported activity for anything other than a very short period of time. The main feature of the Genesis UEM enhancement is the ability to retroactively view the health of the hardware then analyze trends that might not be evident with the snapshot view that the UEM allows. Reports are filterable by criteria such as date/time, IP addresses, devices, severity and more.
The Genesis UEM Enhancement comes with a set of five standard reports:
- UEM Alarm States
Allows the user to enter a specific Date and Time. Reports on the current state of every piece of UEM monitored equipment as of that specific Date and Time. - UEM Alarm Summary
Allows the user to enter a specific Date and Time. Reports a summary of alarms by category (Communication, Equipment, QoS) and by Severity (Info, CommFailure, Minor, Major, Warning, Critical, Clear, Unknown) for that specific date and time. Several charts are embedded in the report to summarize the by Category, Severity or both. - UEM All Alarms
Allows the user to enter a beginning Date and Time and an ending Date and Time for the reporting period. Reports on all alarms reported on the UEM during that reporting period. - UEM All Events
Allows the user to enter a beginning Data and Time and an ending data and Time for the reporting period. Reports on all events reported on the UEM during that reporting period (not limited to the 10,000 line view of the UEM) - UEM Hourly Alarms
Allows the user to enter a beginning Data and Time and an ending data and Time for the reporting period. Reports a summary of Alarm severity reported on the UEM during that reporting period.
