Event Group
The event group allows for the generation of an SNMP trap, a log entry, or both,
for any event you choose. An event can occur when the sample variable exceeds
the alarm threshold or exceeds a channel match event generated on an Ethernet
DCM. Traps can be delivered by the RMON agent to multiple management
stations. For information about setting trap destinations, see Configuring SNMP,
BootP, DHCP, and RARP Services.
You can set up events to either record the monitoring information or to notify the
network management station. The event group includes an event table and a log
table. The event table defines the notification that takes place when an event is
triggered.
Each entry in the event table identifies an event that can be triggered and indicates
an action. The event can trigger any of the following actions:
• The system sends an SNMP trap to the network management station.
• The management station is notified immediately. The management station
determines how to react to the SNMP trap.
• The system logs the event in the log table in the agent system.
• The system sends an SNMP trap and logs the event in the log table.
The log table is a read-only data table for the network management station. It
records each event that needs to be logged, including the event number, an index
that distinguishes occurrences of the same event, the time at which the event
occurred, and the event description. You are not required to configure the log
table.
The management station can retrieve the information stored in the log table for
further analysis. For example, the information collected can be used to select
proper threshold values.
