Variable The object identifier of the MIB variable to be sampled. Only variables that resolve to an integer value
may be sampled.
Sample Type The method of sampling data, either Absolute or Delta. For an absolute sample the variable will be
compared directly to the thresholds. For a delta sample the last sample is subtracted from the current
value and the difference is then compared to the thresholds.
Startup Alarm How the alarm is activated when the variable is compared to the thresholds. This can be set to Rising,
Falling, or Rising or Falling.
Rising Threshold An alarm threshold for the sampled variable. If the current value is greater than or equal to the
threshold, and the last sample value was less than the threshold, then an alarm will be generated. (After
a rising event has been generated, another such event will not be generated until the sampled value
has fallen below the Rising Threshold and reaches the Falling Threshold.)
Falling Threshold An alarm threshold for the sampled variable. If the current value is less than or equal to the threshold,
and the last sample value was greater than the threshold, then an alarm will be generated. (After a
falling event has been generated, another such event will not be generated until the sampled value has
risen above the Falling Threshold and reaches the Rising Threshold.)
Rising Event The index of the Event that will be used if a rising al arm is triggered. If there is no corresponding entry
in the Event Control Table, or if this number is zero, then no event will be generated.
Falling Event The index of the Event that will be used if a falling alarm is triggered. If there is no correspond ing
entry in the Event Control Table, or if this number is zero, then no event will be generated.
Status The current status of the entry in the Control Table: Valid, Under Creation or Invalid.
