• Sample Type – Select the sampling method for the selected variable and comparing the
value against the thresholds. The possible field values are:
– Absolute – Compares the values directly with the thresholds at the end of the sampling
interval.
– Delta – Subtracts the last sampled value from the current value. The difference in the
values is compared to the threshold.
• Rising Threshold – Enter 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 – Enter the event number by which rising alarms are reported.
• Falling Threshold – Enter 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 – Enter the event number by which falling alarms are reported.
• Startup Alarm – Select the trigger that activates the alarm generation. Rising is defined
by crossing the threshold from a low-value threshold to a higher-value threshold. The
possible field values are:
– Rising Alarm – Indicates the alarm is triggered by the rising counter crossing the
rising threshold value.
– Falling Alarm – Indicates the alarm is triggered by the falling counter crossing the
falling threshold value.
– Rising and Falling – Indicates the alarm is triggered by either the rising counter
crossing the rising threshold value or the falling counter crossing the falling threshold
value.
• Interval – Enter the alarm interval time in seconds.
• Owner – Enter the device or user that defined the alarm.
2. Select the alarm entry.
3. Select the Counter Name from the list of MIB variable values in the provided field in the first
row.
4. Enter the Interface in the provided field in the first row.
