connUnitEventIndex (1.3.6.1.3.94.1.11.1.2)
Each connectivity unit has its own event buffer. As it wraps, it may write over previous events. This object is an index into the buffer. It is recommended that this table be read using getNext's to retrieve the initial table. The management appli- cation should read the event table at periodic intervals and then determine if any new entries were added by comparing the last known index value with the current highest index value. The management application should then update its copy of the event table. If the read interval is too long, it is possible that there may be events that may not be contained in the agent's internal event buffer. For example, an agent may read events
The index value is an incrementing integer starting from one every time there is a table reset. On table reset, all contents are emptied and all indexes are set to zero. When an event is added to the table, the event is assigned the next higher integer value than the last item entered into the table. If the index value reaches its maximum value, the next item entered will cause the index value to roll over and start at one again.
