Creating an RMON1 Event

Create a custom rising and falling RMON1 event to specify if alarm information is sent to a trap, a log, or both.

Procedure

In the navigation pane, expand the Configuration > Serviceability > RMON folders.
Click Alarms.
Click the Events tab.
Click Insert.
In the Description box, type an event name.
In the Type option, select an event type.

The default configuration is log-and-trap. To save memory, configure the event type to log. To reduce traffic from the system, configure the event type to snmp-log.

If you select snmp-trap or log, you must configure trap receivers.
In the Community box, type an SNMP community.
In the Owner box, type the owner of this event.
Click Insert.

Use the data in the following table to use the Events tab.


Name	Description
Index	Uniquely identifies an entry in the event table. Each entry defines one event that the system generates after the appropriate conditions occur. The default is 1.
Description	Specifies a comment that describes this event entry.
Type	Specifies the type of notification that the probe makes about this event. In the case of a log, the system makes an entry in the log table for each event. In the case of SNMP traps, the system sends an SNMP trap to one or more management stations.
Community	Specifies the SNMP community where you can send SNMP traps.
LastTimeSent	Specifies the value of sysUpTime at the time this event entry last generated an event. If this entry has not generated events, this value is zero.
Owner	Specifies the entity that configured this entry and is therefore using the assigned resources. If this object contains a string starting with monitor and has associated entries in the log table, all connected management stations retrieve those log entries, as they have significance to all management stations connected to this device.
