Alarm Configuration

Index	This index number uniquely identiÞes each occurrence of
	a rising or falling event. Note that, since the alarm whose
	log is displayed in Figure 4-2experienced both rising and
	falling alarms, there are two sets of event indices: one
	which identiÞes each instance of the rising alarm, and
	one which identiÞes each instance of the falling alarm.

For more information about the relationship between rising and falling alarms and the

TIP hysteresis function that controls the generation of alarm events, see How Rising and Falling Thresholds Work, page 4-26.

Time	Indicates the date and time of each event occurrence.
Description	Provides a detailed description of the condition which
	triggered the alarm, including whether it was a Rising or
	Falling alarm, the Value which triggered the alarm, and
	the conÞgured Threshold that was crossed.

Each log will hold only a Þnite number of entries, which is determined by the resources available on the device; when the log is full, the oldest entries will be replaced by new ones.

Advanced Alarm Configuration

However, if you prefer more control over the parameters of the alarms you set (as well as their associated events and actions) and/or a wider array of choices for each variable, the Advanced Alarm feature provides a powerful and ßexible means for conÞguring alarms, events, and actions to suit your particular networking needs.
