Diagnosing Switch Problems Remote Monitoring (RMON)
OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Network Configuration Guide December 2017 page 34-31
Displaying RMON Tables
Two separate commands can be used to retrieve and view Remote Monitoring data: show rmon probes 
and show rmon events. The retrieved statistics appear in a table format (a collection of related data that 
meets the criteria specified in the command you entered). These RMON tables can display the following 
kinds of data (depending on the criteria you’ve specified):
• The show rmon probes command can display a list of current RMON probes or statistics for a 
particular RMON probe.
• The show rmon events command can display a list of RMON events (actions that occur in response to 
Alarm conditions detected by an RMON probe) or statistics for a particular RMON event.
Displaying a List of RMON Probes
To view a list of current RMON probes, enter the show rmon probes command with the probe type, 
without specifying an entry number for a particular probe.
For example, to show a list of the statistics probes, enter:
-> show rmon probes stats
A display showing all current statistics RMON probes must appear, as shown in the following example:
Entry Slot/Port Flavor  Status  Duration  System Resources
-------+-----------+-----------+----------+---------------+--------------------
4001 4/1 Ethernet Active 00:25:00 275 bytes
4008 4/8 Ethernet Active 00:25:00 275 bytes
4005 4/5 Ethernet Active 00:25:00 275 bytes
This table entry displays probe statistics for all probes on the switch. The probes are active, utilize 275 
bytes of memory, and 25 minutes have elapsed since the last change in status occurred.
To show a list of the history probes, enter:
-> show rmon probes history
A display showing all current history RMON probes must appear, as shown in the following example:
Entry  Slot/Port  Flavor     Status      Duration      System Resources
-------+-----------+-----------+----------+---------------+--------------------
1 1/1  History Active 92:52:20 5464 bytes
30562 1/35 History Active 00:31:22 312236 bytes
30817 1/47 History Active 00:07:31 5200236 bytes
The table entry displays statistics for RMON History probes on the switch.
To show a list of the alarm probes, enter:
-> show rmon probes alarm
A display showing all current alarm RMON probes must appear, as shown in the following example:
Entry  Slot/Port  Flavor     Status      Duration      System Resources
-------+-----------+-----------+----------+---------------+--------------------
31927  1/35     Alarm  Active      00:25:51  608 bytes
