– Sample Type – Defines the sampling method for the selected variable and comparing the
value against the thresholds. The possible field values are:
– Delta – Subtracts the last sampled value from the current value. The difference in the
values is compared to the threshold.
– Absolute – Compares the values directly with the thresholds at the end of the sampling
interval.
– Rising Threshold – Displays the rising counter value that triggers the rising threshold
alarm. The rising threshold is presented on top of the graph bars. Each monitored variable
is designated a color.
– Rising Event – Displays the mechanism in which the alarms are reported. The possible
field values are:
– LOG – Indicates there is not a saving mechanism for either the device or in the
management system. If the device is not reset, the entry remains in the Log Table.
– TRAP – Indicates that an SNMP trap is generated and sent via the Trap mechanism.
The Trap can also be saved using the Trap mechanism.
– Both – Indicates that both the Log and Trap mechanism are used to report alarms.
– Falling Threshold – Displays the falling counter value that triggers the falling threshold
alarm. The falling threshold is graphically presented on top of the graph bars. Each
monitored variable is designated a color.
– Falling Event – Displays the mechanism in which the alarms are reported.
– Startup Alarm – Displays the trigger that activates the alarm generation. Rising is
defined by crossing the threshold from a low-value threshold to a higher-value threshold.
– Interval – Defines the alarm interval time in seconds.
– Owner – Displays the device or user that defined the alarm.
– Delete – Removes the RMON Alarms Table entry.
