Creating events

To create an event:

  1. From the Device Manager menu bar, choose RMON > Alarms.
    2. The RmonAlarms dialog box opens with the Alarms tab displayed.
  2. Click the Event tab.
    3. The RmonAlarms, Event tab opens.
  3. In the RmonAlarms, Event tab, click Insert.
    4. The RmonAlarms, Insert Events dialog box opens.


Note Note: When you create an alarm, if RisingEvent and FallingEvent do not appear in the Description field on the RmonAlarms, Event tab, Device Manager will create them. These events are used during alarm creation and appear in the RisingEventIndex and FallingEventIndex fields on the RmonAlarms, Alarm tab.

  1. In the RmonAlarms, Insert Event dialog box Description field, type a name for the event.
  2. Select the type of event you want.
    3. The default setting is log-and-trap. You may opt to set the event type to log to save memory or to snmp-log to reduce traffic from the switch.
    If you select snmp-trap or log, you must set trap receivers in order to receive the trap if it is generated.
  3. Click Insert.
    4. The new event is displayed in the Event tab of the RmonAlarms dialog box.
