Alarm tab items


Item Description
Index
Uniquely identifies an entry in the alarm table. Each such entry defines a diagnostic sample at a particular interval for an object on the device.
Interval
Time period (in seconds) over which the data is sampled and compared with the rising and falling thresholds.
Variable
Name and type of alarm--indicated by the format:
  • alarmname.0, where no further information is required.
  • alarmname., where the user must specify the index. This value is a card number for module-related alarms, an MLT ID for MultiLink Truck alarms, an IP address for RIP or OSPF alarms (the user must enable RIP/OSPF on the VLAN or router port and enable globally), or the Ether Statistics Control Index for RMON Stats alarms.
  • alarmname with no dot or index is a port-related alarm and results in display of the port picker tool.
Sample Type
Can be either absolute or delta.
Value
The value of the statistic during the last sampling period. The value during the current sampling period is not made available until the period is completed. ::={ alarmEntry 5 }
StartupAlarm
The alarm that may be sent when this entry is first set to valid. If the first sample
after this entry becomes valid is greater than or equal to the risingThreshold, and alarmStartupAlarm is equal to risingAlarm(1) or risingOrFallingAlarm(3), then a
single rising alarm is generated.

If the first sample after this entry becomes valid is less than or equal to the fallingThreshold, and alarmStartupAlarm is equal to fallingAlarm(2) or risingOrFallingAlarm(3), then a single falling alarm is generated.
RisingThreshold
When the current sampled value is greater than or equal to this threshold, and the value at the last sampling interval was less than this threshold, generates a single event.
RisingEventIndex
Index of the event entry that is used when a rising threshold is crossed. The event entry identified by a particular value of this index is the same as identified by the same value of the event index object. (Generally, accept the default that is already filled in.)
FallingThreshold
When the current sampled value is less than or equal to this threshold, and the value at the last sampling interval was greater than this threshold, generates a single event.
FallingEventIndex
Index of the event entry that is used when a falling threshold is crossed. The event entry identified by a particular value of this index is the same as identified by the same value of the event index object. (Generally, accept the default that is already filled in.)
Owner
The entity that configured this entry and is using the resources assigned to it.
Status
The status of this alarm entry.
