| Draft |
You can define or delete an alarm for any MIB that resolves to an integer value. Do not use string variables (such as system description) as alarm variables.
To open the RmonAlarms dialog box:
|
From the Device Manager main menu, choose Rmon >Alarms. |
| The RmonAlarms dialog box opens with the Alarms tab displayed. |
The table below describes the Alarm tab items.
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:
Sample Type
Can be either absolute or delta.
Value
The value of the statistic during the last sampling period. The value during the current samping 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 generate.
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.
