event
Syntax
event rmon-event-id [event-type] [description description-string] [owner owner-string]
no event rmon-event-id
Context
config>system>thresholds>rmon
Description
The event command configures an entry in the RMON-MIB event table. The event command controls the
generation and notification of threshold crossing events configured with the alarm command. When a
threshold crossing event is triggered, the rmon>event configuration optionally specifies if an entry in the
RMON-MIB log table should be created to record the occurrence of the event. It may also specify that an
SNMP notification (trap) should be generated for the event. The RMON-MIB defines two notifications for
threshold crossing events: Rising Alarm and Falling Alarm.
Creating an event entry in the RMON-MIB log table does not create a corresponding entry in the TiMOS
event logs. However, when the event-type is set to trap, the generation of a Rising Alarm or Falling Alarm
notification creates an entry in the TiMOS event logs and that is distributed to whatever TiMOS log
destinations are configured: CONSOLE, session, memory, file, syslog, or SNMP trap destination.
The TiMOS logger message includes a rising or falling threshold crossing event indicator, the sample type
(absolute or delta), the sampled value, the threshold value, the RMON-alarm-id, the associated RMON-
event-id and the sampled SNMP object identifier.
Use the no form of this command to remove an rmon-event-id from the configuration.
Parameters
rmon-event-type — The rmon-event-type specifies the type of notification action to be taken when this
event occurs.
Values
Default
description — The description is a user configurable string that can be used to identify the purpose of this
event. This is an optional parameter and can be 80 characters long. If the string contains special
characters (#, $, spaces, etc.), the entire string must be enclosed within double quotes.
Default
owner owner — The owner identifies the creator of this alarm. It defaults to "TiMOS CLI". This
parameter is defined primarily to allow entries that have been created in the RMON-MIB alarmTable by
7950 SR OS Basic System Configuration Guide
log — In the case of log, an entry is made in the RMON-MIB log table for each event
occurrence.
This does not create a TiMOS logger entry. The RMON-MIB log table entries can be
viewed using the show>system>thresholds CLI command.
trap — In the case of trap, a TiMOS logger event is generated. The TiMOS logger utility
then distributes the notification of this event to its configured log destinations which may
be CONSOLE, telnet session , memory log, cflash file, syslog, or SNMP trap destinations
logs.
both — In the case of both, both a entry in the RMON-MIB logTable and a TiMOS logger
event are generated.
none — In the case of none, no action is taken.
both
An empty string.
