Tooltips - Avaya P120 SMON User Manual

Tooltips

Tooltips in the Alarms and Events tool provide information about an
Alarm. When the cursor is held over the
Table a tooltip appears.
The tooltip provides information about the Alarm's definition. In addition,
it shows the 'raw' number of packets (or octets) which will generate a
Rising or Falling Event. The raw number is the actual number of packets
(or octets) that must enter the port in order to generate an Event. This
number is equal to the defined rate times the interval.
For example, if an Alarm is defined for Broadcast packets with an Interval
of 15 seconds, a Rising Threshold of 1,000 packets per second and a
Falling Threshold of 100 packets per second, the raw number for a Rising
Event is 15,000 and for a Falling Event 1,500. If 15,000 or more Broadcast
packets enter the port in a 15 second interval, a Rising Event is generated.
The following table provides a list of the fields in Tooltip with their
descriptions.
