Internet-Draft              Fault YANG Model                   July 2016

1.  Introduction

   Network devices, controllers, orchestrators, and applications
   generate faults indicating active alarm state on entities.  These
   faults are reported to the northbound systems, which can diagnose and
   take corrective actions to fix these faults.

   Faults raised by various entities in the system are present in the
   fault model in the operational datastore.  New faults are reported to
   the clients using notifications.  On system re-start, faults are
   rediscovered, and the fault model is re-populated in the operational
   datastore.  In some systems, faults once cleared, may get moved to
   historical fault log, which is outside the scope of this document.

   The fault definition is based on existing standards [X.733] [RFC3877]
   and is widely adopted for alarm reporting.  This document provides
   the YANG model for Faults described in the existing standards [X.733]
   [RFC3877].

2.  Fault YANG Data Model

   Note: The Fault YANG Data Model contains the most widely used
   attributes from [X.733].  It is being discussed if this YANG model
   should contain all attributes as defined in [X.733] and [RFC3877].

   The ietf-fault-types YANG model does not currently include all
   probable causes as defined in X.733.  The full list of probable
   causes will be added in the next version of the document.

   New network architectures that include controllers, orchestrators,
   PCE, applications, etc., require new fault types and probable causes
   to be defined.  These new fault types and probable causes will be
   defined in the next version of the model.
