Viewing the RMON fault event log
RMON events and alarms work together to notify you when values in your
network go outside a specified range. When values pass the specified
ranges, the alarm is triggered and fires. The event specifies how the activity
is recorded.
An event specifies whether a trap, a log, or a trap and a log are generated
to view alarm activity. When RMON is globally enabled, two default events
are generated:
•Rising Event
•Falling Event
Default events specify that when an alarm goes out of range,the firing of
the alarm is tracked in both a trap and a log. For example, when an alarm
fires at the rising threshold, the rising event specifies that this information
be sent to both a trap and a log. The RMON Event Log page works in
conjunction with the RMON Threshold page to enable you to view a history
of RMON fault events.
