Hi Rahul,

As per the following idea, reboot event should be generated.

Anyway it also covers the attribute ID to watch.

Spectrum should reliably detect reboots - no more false alarms 

Tons of false device has been rebooted 0x10ff0 eve - CA Knowledge 

Thanks,

Silvio

I would look to see if the system publishes an sysptime value, if it does then have a watch that alerts if uptime < 300 (as in less than 5 minutes).

sysUpTime 0x10245

Thanks for update... 

Okay, if I create a watch on sysUpTime 0x10245, then alarm will be generated on device OS reboot or on SNMP engine restart?

My requirement is to generate alarm on OS reboot.

The hrSysUptime informs about the uptime of the Operating System (OS), while sysUptime only informs about the uptime of the SNMP agent.

Have you checked if reboot event is being generated?

What is your CA Spectrum version?

My spectrum version is 10.3. I created watch on sysUptime and events are generated on this which informing about SNMP engine up-time. 

I didn't found hrSysUptime attribute on device.

I believe it is hrSystemUptime from the Host Resources mib:

hrSystemUptime OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX TimeTicks (0 .. 4294967295)
ACCESS read-only
STATUS current

DESCRIPTION
"The amount of time since this host was last
initialized. Note that this is different from
sysUpTime in the SNMPv2-MIB [RFC1907] because
sysUpTime is the uptime of the network management
portion of the system."
::= { hrSystem 1 }

My requirement:-

Whenever a firewall device OS got rebooted, there should be Major alarm while for non-firewall devices alarm should be minor.
