Field
Index The system automatically generates an index number.
Owner The name of the person who configured the entry in the Control Table.
Interval The time interval in seconds over which data is sampled and compared with the rising or falling
threshold.
Variable The object identifier of the MIB variable to be sampled. Only variables that resolve to an integer
value may be sampled.
Sample Type The method of sampling data, either Absolute or Delta. For an absolute sample the variable will be
compared directly to the thresholds. For a delta sample the last sample is subtracted from the
current value and the difference is then compared to the thresholds.
Startup Alarm How the alarm is activated when the variable is compared to the thresholds. This can be set to
Rising, Falling, or Rising or Falling.
Rising Threshold An alarm threshold for the sampled variable. If the current value is greater than or equal to the
threshold, and the last sample value was less than the threshold, then an alarm will be generated.
(After a rising event has been generated, another such event will not be generated until the sampled
value has fallen below the Rising Threshold and reaches the Falling Threshold.)
Falling Threshold An alarm threshold for the sampled variable. If the current value is less than or equal to the
threshold, and the last sample value was greater than the threshold, then an alarm will be
generated. (After a falling event has been generated, another such event will not be generated until
the sampled value has risen above the Falling Threshold and reaches the Rising Threshold.)
Rising Event The index of the Event that will be used if a rising alarm is triggered. If there is no corresponding
entry in the Event Control Table, or if this number is zero, then no event will be generated.
Falling Event The index of the Event that will be used if a falling alarm is triggered. If there is no corresponding
entry in the Event Control Table, or if this number is zero, then no event will be generated.
Status The current status of the entry in the Control Table: Valid, Under Creation or Invalid
Event Control Table - If the response corresponding to the alarm has not yet been defined, click
on the Event button to open the Event Control table. Click on the Add (Edit) button in the Event
Control Table to add (edit) an index entry. The dialog box that opens is described in the following
table.
