Alarms and Traps

Setting Alarms

5967–9446 441

To control what happens when an alarm triggers

1 Conﬁgure an alarm as discussed on page 433.

2 Push the Options… button.

3 Indicate what to do when the alarm triggers.

For each alarm, you can control what happens when either the rising or

falling threshold is crossed. Speciﬁcally, for either threshold you can

decide whether to:

● Add an entry to the agent’s log describing the alarm.

● Generate a trap and, if so, whether to execute a command on the

management station.

● Start or stop a packet capture.

You can also indicate the severity level for each threshold. This informa-

tion is included in the trap that is sent and can be used or tested by the

executed command.

To change what happens when an alarm triggers or rearms, push the

Options… button in the Conﬁgure Alarms window. A window like the

one in ﬁgure 91 on page 440 opens.

For each threshold (rising and falling), you can conﬁgure the following

items.

Important

In order to use traps, you must have a network management

environment, such as OpenView NNM, that supports them, and trap

destination information must be conﬁgured for the agent. Refer to

page 419 for details.

Threshold Value Speciﬁes the value for the rising or falling threshold. The default value

is the one speciﬁed in the Conﬁgure Alarm window. Refer to page 439

for information about setting different thresholds.

Generate log entry
