Alarm Configuration

5.Once you have selected the object you wish to set, you must assign the appropriate instance value in the Instance field. If you’re not sure how the object you wish to set is instanced, you can use the MIB Tree utility (described in the Tools Guide) to query it; all available instances for the object will be displayed.

6.In the Value field, enter the value you wish to set for the selected object. Again, if you’re not sure what the valid values are for the variable you wish to set, locate the object in the MIBTree utility and use the Details button to obtain more information.

7.Once you’ve configured your action, click Add ; the action will be added to the Action Table list in the lower left corner of the window. Note that the window remains open so that you may configure additional new actions or modify existing ones; selecting on any action in the Action Table will display that action’s parameters in the window and make them available for editing. When you have finished configuring your actions, click Cancel to close the window.

The Action Table will update automatically each time an action is added or deleted; use Refresh to update the table at any time.

Deleting an Alarm, Event, or Action

To delete an alarm, event, or action:

1.In the appropriate window, highlight the alarm, event, or action you wish to remove.

2.Click Delete. A window opens asking you to confirm your selection; click OK to delete, or Cancel to cancel.

When you delete an event, be sure you edit all alarms that were pointing to that event, and assign a new valid event to those thresholds; note, too, that deleting an event automatically deletes its associated actions, as actions cannot exist in the absence of an association with an event. As a general rule, we recommend that you do not delete an alarm or event of which you are not the owner.

Viewing an Advanced Alarm Event Log

To view the log of occurrences for any event:

1.Highlight the event for which you wish to view the log, then click on the Event Log button at the bottom of the Advanced Alarm/Event List window; the Event Log window, Figure 3-7, opens.
