RMON Group 9—Events

RackSwitch G8000: Application Guide
The RMON Event Group allows you to define events that are triggered by alarms.
An event can be a log message, an SNMP trap, or both.
When an alarm is generated, it triggers a corresponding event notification. Use the
following commands to correlate an Event index to an alarm:
RS G8000(config)# rmon alarm <alarm number> rising-crossing-index
<event number>
RS G8000(config)# rmon alarm <alarm number> falling-crossing-index
<event number>
RMON events use SNMP and syslogs to send notifications. Therefore, an SNMP
trap host must be configured for trap event notification to work properly.
RMON uses a syslog host to send syslog messages. Therefore, an existing syslog
host must be configured for event log notification to work properly. Each log event
generates a syslog of type RMON that corresponds to the event.
For example, to configure the RMON event parameters.
RS G8000(config)# rmon event 110 type log
RS G8000(config)# rmon event 110 description "SYSLOG_this_alarm"
RS G8000(config)# rmon event 110 owner "log icmpInEchos alarm"
This configuration creates an RMON event that sends a syslog message each time
it is triggered by an alarm.
