Alarms and Events

Tooltips

Tooltips in the Alarms and Events tool provide information about an Alarm. When the cursor is held over the Index field of a row in the Alarms Table a tooltip appears.

Figure 6-2. Alarm Tooltip

The tooltip provides information about the Alarm’s definition. In addition, it shows the ‘raw’ number of packets (or octets) which will generate a Rising or Falling Event. The raw number is the actual number of packets (or octets) that must enter the port in order to generate an Event. This number is equal to the defined rate times the interval.

For example, if an Alarm is defined for Broadcast packets with an Interval of 15 seconds, a Rising Threshold of 1,000 packets per second and a Falling Threshold of 100 packets per second, the raw number for a Rising Event is 15,000 and for a Falling Event 1,500. If 15,000 or more Broadcast packets enter the port in a 15 second interval, a Rising Event is generated.

The following table provides a list of the fields in Tooltip with their descriptions.

	Table 6-2. Tooltip Fields

Field	Description


Index	A number identifying the Alarm.

Port	The port or LAG for which the Alarm was configured.

Counter	The counter being monitored by the Alarm.

Last Value	The value of the counter calculated for the last interval.

Rising Threshold	The Rising Threshold expressed as the number of packets
[raw]	or octets in an interval.

Last Rising Time	The time of the last Rising Event.

Falling Threshold	The Falling Threshold expressed as the number of packets
[raw]	or octets in an interval.

Events Overview Alarms and Events OverviewThe first Event is a Rising Event, caused by the counter rate rising above the Rising Threshold. The second Event is a Falling Event, caused by the counter rate falling below the Falling Threshold. The third Event is a Rising Event. Note, that although the rate falls below the Rising Threshold and then rises above it again, no Event is generated. A new Rising Event can only be generated after the rate falls below the Falling Threshold. Similarly, after the fourth Event, although the rate rises above the Falling Threshold and then falls below it again, no Event is generated. A new Falling Event can only be generated after the rate rises above the Rising Threshold 2 Device SMON Accessing Device SMONFigure 2-1.

Traffic Variables in Switch Statistics Traffic Graph in the Switch Statistics WindowComparing the traffic graphs to the meters can often point you in the right direction for locating a problem. For example, the pie chart may show an abnormal amount of non-unicast packets, while the bandwidth usage shown in the traffic graph has increased significantly. This may suggest that one of the stations attached to the switch is generating the non-unicast packets. By using VLAN Statistics you can locate the VLAN where the problem originates. By using Port Statistics you can locate the port to which the suspected station is attached 4 Port Statistics Using Port StatisticsSelecting Ports to Display Figure 4-1.
