RMON Events Logs
The Event Log Table page displays the log of events (actions) that occurred. Two 
types of events can be logged: Log or Log and Trap. The action in the event is 
performed when the event is bound to an alarm (see the Alarms page) and the 
conditions of the alarm have occurred.
STEP 1 Click Status and Statistics > RMON > Events.
STEP  2 Click Event Log Table.
This page displays the following fields:
• Event Entry No.—Event’s log entry number.
• Log No.—Log number (within the event).
• Log Time—Time that the log entry was entered.
• Description—Description of event that triggered the alarm.
RMON Alarms
RMON alarms provide a mechanism for setting thresholds and sampling intervals 
to generate exception events on counters or any other SNMP object counter 
maintained by the agent. Both the rising and falling thresholds must be configured 
in the alarm. After a rising threshold is crossed, no rising events are generated until 
the companion falling threshold is crossed. After a falling alarm is issued, the next 
alarm is issued when a rising threshold is crossed.
One or more alarms are bound to an event, which indicates the action to be taken 
when the alarm occurs.
