Threshold window.

Table 8 Threshold Monitor Configuration Fields

Field Name

Description

Possible Selections

Threshold Object

Object ID which is to be monitored.

 

This has 4294967294 at the end if

 

an object with multiple instances is

 

to be monitored.

Example:

1.3.6.1.4.1.429.4.75.5.1.8.0

Threshold Alias

Alias for the object ID. This is used

 

to differentiate the different objects

 

being monitored. The alias is sent in

 

the threshold trap for identifying

 

the monitor object that has crossed

 

the threshold or cleared the

 

threshold

The alias has to be unique across all objects to be monitored.

when the current value is less

 

 

than the integer value you

 

 

entered.

 

 

If you set the Threshold Type to
