Using Alarms and Events
Set Thresholds
The Set Thresholds screen enables you to configure the behavior of the Alarms and Events tool when SMON is started, and to configure thresholds for the alarm.
There are two thresholds, a Rising Threshold and a Falling Threshold. If the rate of the selected counter rises above the selected Rising Threshold, an event is generated. If the rate of the selected counter falls below the selected Falling Threshold, an event is generated. For more information about Thresholds, refer to “Alarms and Events Overview” on page 7.
Figure 7-6. Alarm Wizard - Set Thresholds
To configure the behavior of the Alarms and Events tool when SMON is started, select a radio button in the Alarm Startup field. The options are:
•Rising - The first event that can be generated must be a Rising Event. If the rate falls below the Falling Threshold before it rises above the Rising Threshold, a Falling Event is not generated.
•Falling - The first event that can be generated must be a Falling Event. If the rate rises above the Rising Threshold before it falls below the Falling Threshold, a Rising Event is not generated.
•Rising and Falling - The first event generated can be a Rising or a Falling Event.
To configure the thresholds, enter values in the Rising and Falling fields. The threshold levels are in packets or octets per second.
When you finish configuring the startup behavior and thresholds, click Next. The Alarm Wizard continues with the Set Description screen.
