Figure 4-2. Basic Alarm Log

The top portion of the Basic Alarm Log window contains the device information boxes, as well as the Port Number assigned to the interface that experienced the alarm condition and the type of alarm that was triggered; the remainder of the window contains the following information about each alarm occurrence:

Index

This index number uniquely identifies each occurrence of a rising or

 

falling event. Note that, since the alarm whose log is displayed in

 

Figure 4-2experienced both rising and falling alarms, there are two sets

 

of event indices: one which identifies each instance of the rising alarm,

 

and one which identifies each instance of the falling alarm.

For more information about the relationship between rising and falling alarms and the

TIP hysteresis function that controls the generation of alarm events, see How Rising and Falling Thresholds Work, on page 4-27.

Time

NOTE

In accordance with Year 2000 compliance requirements, NetSight Element Manager now displays and allows you to set all dates with four-digit year values.

Description

Provides a detailed description of the condition which triggered the

 

alarm, including whether it was a Rising or Falling alarm, the Value

 

which triggered the alarm, and the configured Threshold that was

 

crossed.
