The Þelds in the Events Watch display include:
Index This is a number that uniquely identiÞes an entry in the
event table; an index number is assigned when an event
is created. These numbers are extremely important, as
they are the means by which an event is associated with
an alarm or a packet capture Þlter. As with alarms, these
index numbers are user-deÞned and can be assigned
according to any indexing scheme that works for you.
Index numbers are permanently assigned to their
associated events; however, numbers made available by
the deletion of existing events can be assigned to new
events, as needed. Note that indices 2000 to 4999 are
reserved and unavailable.
LastTime Indicates the last time this event was triggered. Note that
this information is static once it is displayed, and the
LastTime Þeld will not be updated unless you close, then
open, the Alarms/Events window, or click on the
Refresh button.
Type Indicates the type of response that will be generated if
the event is triggered: log, trap, or log & trap. A type of

logged and no trap will be sent; however, note that this
Þeld does not indicate whether or not there are any
actions associated with the selected event.
Description This is a user-deÞned text description used to identify
the event and/or the alarm or packet capture that
triggers it.
The Event Log button at the bottom of the screen provides access to the log which
lists the occurrences of an event.
