To monitor the total packets received by the target device:
1. Fill in the following table with all available information.
Parameter
Target Address
Community
MIB Module
Variable
Index
Polling Interval
Filter
Threshold
Event Name
Event Actions
2. Bring up the Event Manager. It is automatically loaded when you run the main EliteView
program. If it is not visible, bring it up by selecting Event Manager from the Utilities Menu. Add
the new Event Name and Event Actions you have specified in the preceding table.
3. Select Log Manager from the Utilities Menu. Add new log processes according to the
information specified in the preceding table into the Log Information dialog box.
4. Collect all the information you need to establish a threshold appropriate for your system. Then
use the Log Data Manager to save or delete logged data into your hard disk.
Let's say that you want to monitor the collisions of an SNMP device whose IP address is
192.72.24.2. Then you would like to check the value for every 60 seconds, but do not want to
save the data at all. And if the collision rate is greater than 100 per second, you need an audible
alarm and a message box to warn you of the condition. You want to name this critical condition as
"Hot_2."
By checking the target SNMP device's MIB, you find that the variable hubTxCollisions
contains the value that you need. Further, this variable belongs to the "EZ Stack 10" module.
Additional information you already know includes - index is equal to the IP address of the target
SNMP device and the community is equal to abc.
