Configuring RMON with the Java Device Manager 115
How events work
An event specifies whether a trap, a log, or a trap and a log are generated
to view alarm activity. When RMON is globally enabled, two default events
are generated:
•
RisingEvent
•
FallingEvent
The default events specify that when an alarm goes out of range, the
"firing" of the alarm will be tracked in both a trap and a log. For example,
when an alarm fires at the rising threshold, the rising event specifies that
this information be sent to both a trap and a log. Likewise, when an alarm
passes the falling threshold, the falling event specifies that this information
be sent to a trap and a log.
