Alarm Configuration

The fields in the Alarms Watch display include:

Index

The index is a number that uniquely identifies each

 

alarm. Index numbers are user-defined; you can use any

 

indexing scheme that works for you. These numbers are

 

permanently assigned to their associated alarms;

 

however, index numbers made available by the deletion

 

of existing alarms can be assigned to new alarms, as

 

needed. Indices 2000 to 3999 are reserved and

 

unavailable.

Interval

Indicates the amount of time, in seconds, over which the

 

selected variable will be sampled. At the end of the

 

interval, the sample value is compared to both the rising

 

and falling thresholds configured for the alarm.

Sample

Indicates whether the sample value to be compared to

 

the thresholds is an absolute, or total value — that is, the

 

total value counted for the selected variable during the

 

interval — or a relative, or delta value — the difference

 

between the value counted during the current interval

 

and the value counted during the previous interval.

LoThrshld

Indicates the set value for the low, or falling threshold.

Event #

Indicates the event index number that the falling

 

threshold points to: this is the event that will be triggered

 

if the falling threshold is met or crossed. If the value for

 

this field is zero, no event will be triggered.

HiThrshld

Indicates the set value for the high, or rising threshold.

Event #

Indicates the event index number that the rising

 

threshold points to: the event that will be triggered if the

 

rising threshold is met or crossed. If the value for this

 

field is zero, no event will be triggered.

Status

Indicates the status of the alarm: valid, invalid, or

 

underCreation. An alarm that is invalid is not functional;

 

it may be referring to a MIB component that is inactive

 

(such as the Hosts component), not present, or

 

unreachable, or it may have been deleted by software but

 

not yet removed from memory at the device. An alarm

 

that is underCreation is in the process of being

 

configured (possibly by another management station),

 

and should not be modified until its status is valid; if it

 

never reaches valid status, it will eventually be removed.

Alarm Variable

Indicates the variable that is being watched. You can use

 

the scroll bar, if necessary, to view the complete name.
