    The "AGGREGATE STATE CHANGE DETECTED" alarm is defined in the $SPECROOT/SS/CsVendor/Ctron_Gen_HOST/EventDisp file as follows:

     

    0x01169462 E 20 A { v 5 Ctron_Gen_HOST.aggCurrState },0x01169462,1

     

    You can use the Event Configuration tool to change the 0x01169462 event to not generate an alarm. 

     

    Please reference Event Configuration - CA Spectrum - 10.2 to 10.2.3 - CA Technologies Documentation  for more information on using the Event Configuration tool.

    Hello

     

    I performed some research and came up with this additional information:

     

    "The Self Monitor and Process Monitor will send Aggregate State Change traps when you configure the SystemEDGE agent watchers for aggregation.

     

    For more details, please refer to the documentation below:

     

    CA SystemEDGE User Guide Release 5.9

    https://support.ca.com/cadocs/0/CA%20Virtual%20Assurance%20for%20Infrastructure%20Managers%2012%209-ENU/Bookshelf_Files/PDF/SE_User_ENU.pdf

     

    Chapter 3: Concepts

    Chapter 5: Agent Configuration

     

    Basically Spectrum generated this alarm when receive Aggregate State Change Detected trap. This trap is related to cpu idle time and sysedge has sent a trap based on the configuration in self monitor table on the sysedge model in Spectrum. As the CPU idle time breached the threshold, an alarm is generated in Spectrum based on sysedge trap. In case if you don't want this trap, you can either remove this entry from self monitor table or reduce the severity to "None" for this event.”

    Hi,

     

    Thanks for the reply,

    I have changed severity from minor  to None in Alarm tab of that particular Event Code(0x0116942) in Event Configuration and saved. It works.
