The intention of this page, together with the
alarm list
, is to provide enough information for the operator
to immediately see if there is anything seriously wrong with one or more Ethernet input streams. The
overall status for the Full Service Monitoring (FSM) is also shown.
Throughout this view the bulb colors indicate the most severe active alarm. They may be green (no
alarm), yellow (warning), orange (error) or red (major). The bulb color is based on user defined alarm
severity settings for each alarm. A grey bulb indicates that monitoring is disabled.
The following Ethernet parameters are shown:
Eth streams withactive alarms:
Shows the number of streams that are presently in an alarm state
(0–260). Note that the number of alarms counted refers to default
settings, and alarms disabled by the user will still be counted.
Interface bitrate:
This is the total bitrate sensed on eth0. It should be greater than
or equal to the Monitoring bitrate.
Monitoring:
This is the total number of Ethernet streams monitored (0–260)
and the total bitrate for these streams.
Full Service Monitoring status:
The number of enabled FSM services / number of OK FSM ser-
vices
The probe is capable of monitoring up to 260 streams simultaneously. The probe splits streams into
pages for easy handling. Each of the 20 predefined pages can be given a name and have a user defined
number of streams associated.
Part of the page-status is error-second statistics for the fundamental parameters
MLR
,
RTP
,
overfl
and
nosig summed across all streams belonging to that page.
The error-second statistics interval is selected by clicking the buttons. For example, clicking the
ES–8h
button will present error-seconds for the last 8 hours. If 10 streams for a page have been without signal
for the last 8 hours, the nosig will show as 80hours.
The following parameters are presented (note that the error second values are accumulated from probe
boot time, and they will only be cleared by reboot or by clicking the
Clear all
counters button in the
Main
view):
‘Bulb’:
The bulb indicates the most severe active alarm for any of the streams on the page.
Active alarms are located on top of the alarm list. The alarm severity is reflected by the
color of the associated icon.
Next to the bulb is a link that will lead to the
Monitoring page
if pressed. The Monitoring
page will present error-second statistics for each stream individually.
OK: Shows how many of the streams monitored on this page are without active alarms
ES(MLR):
Number of seconds in selected period with continuity counter errors in the MPEG2
transport stream (which corresponds to the number of seconds with non-zero Media
Loss Rate).
ES(RTP): Number of seconds in selected period with RTP packet-drop
ES(overfl): Number of seconds in selected period with bitrate overflow
ES(nosig): Number of seconds in selected period where no signal (i.e. no data) was received
