116 Chapter 3 Configuring Remote Network Monitoring (RMON)
Events tab fields
Field Description
Index This index uniquely identifies an entry in the event table.
Each entry defines one event that is to be generated when
the appropriate conditions occur.
Description Specifies whether the event is a rising or falling event.
Type The type of notification that the Device Manager provides
about this event. In the case of log, an entry is made
in the log table for each event. In the case of trap, an
SNMP trap is sent to one or more management stations.
Possible notifications follow:
• none
•
log
•
trap
•
log-and-trap
Community The SNMP community string acts as a password. Only
those management applications with this community
string can view the alarms.
LastTimeSent The value of sysUpTime at the time this event entry last
generated an event. If this entry has not generated any
events, this value is zero.
Owner If traps are specified to be sent to the owner, then this is
the name of the machine that will receive alarm traps.
Status Normally valid. A not-valid field indicates that an SNMP
agent other than the Device Manager has tried to modify
an RMON parameter or that network conditions have
corrupted an SNMP packet sent by the Device Manager.
The status would temporarily appear as "under creation"
and then the status would become either "valid" or the
field would be deleted.
