Alarms and Traps
Setting Alarms
5967–9446 439
To set different rising and falling thresholds
1 Configure an alarm as discussed on page 433.
2 Push the Options… button.
3 Set separate thresholds for Rising Event and Falling
Event.
With many network problems, a monitored object fluctuates around a
given value for a period of time, crossing and recrossing the threshold in
each direction. As a result, an alarm may trigger several times without
actually signaling a new network problem.
For example, figure 89 on page 436 shows a rising alarm that triggers
four times. The first and second alarms are probably related to the same
network problem. Similarly, the third and fourth alarms are probably
related.
Figure 90, in contrast, shows how setting different rising and falling
thresholds can minimize unnecessary alarms.
