Index numbers are permanently assigned to their

 

associated events; however, numbers made available by

 

the deletion of existing events can be assigned to new

 

events, as needed. Note that indices 2000 to 4999 are

 

reserved and unavailable.

LastTime

Indicates the last time this event was triggered. Note that

 

this information is static once it is displayed, and the

 

LastTime Þeld will not be updated unless you close, then

 

open, the Alarms/Events window, or click on Refresh.

Type

Indicates the type of response that will be generated if

 

the event is triggered: log, trap, or log & trap. A type of

 

ÒnoneÓ indicates that occurrences of the event will not be

 

logged and no trap will be sent; however, note that this

 

Þeld does not indicate whether or not there are any

 

actions associated with the selected event.

Description

This is a user-deÞned text description used to identify

 

the event and/or the alarm or packet capture that

 

triggers it.

The button at the bottom of the screen provides access to the log which lists the occurrences of an event.

Note that the information provided in this screen is static once it is displayed; for updated information, click on Refresh. Adding or modifying an event automatically updates the list.

Creating and Editing an Advanced Alarm

The Create/Edit Alarms window (Figure 4-4, following page) allows you to both create new alarms and edit existing ones. When you click on the button in the Alarms Watch list, the Create/Edit Alarms window will display the parameters of the alarm which is currently highlighted in the list. (If no alarms have yet been conÞgured, a set of default parameters will be displayed.) All of these parameters are editable: to change an existing alarm, edit any parameter except the Index value; to create an entirely new alarm, simply assign a new Index number. The ability to assign index numbers allows you to quickly and easily create a number of similar alarms without having to close, then re-open the window or re-assign every parameter.

Note, too, that the main Alarm/Event window remains active while the Create/Edit Alarm window is open; to edit a different alarm (or use its settings as the basis of a new alarm), simply double-click on the alarm you want to use in the main Alarms Watch list, and the Create/Edit Alarm window will update accordingly.
