RMON UTILITIES
Alarm and Event Groups
The Alarm and Event Groups allow you to record important events or immediately respond to critical network problems. The Alarm and Event Control Tables (shown below) are used together to define specific criteria that will generate response events. (Note that you must use
the scroll bar to display all the columns in the tables.) These tables allow you to add, edit and delete items, or to select a specific index entry and then view the corresponding response event (from the Alarm Table) or triggered events (from the Event table).
Adding or Editing an Entry in the Control Table
Alarm Control Table – Alarms can be set to test data over any specified time interval, and can monitor absolute or changing values (such as a statistical counter reaching a specific value, or a statistic changing by a certain amount over the set interval). Alarms can be set to respond to either rising or falling thresholds. (However, note that after an alarm is triggered it will not be triggered again until the statistical value crosses the opposite bounding threshold as described in the following table.) Click on the Add (Edit) button in the Alarm Control Table to add (edit) an index entry. The dialog box that opens is described in the following table.
