Objects Table; Event Table; Configuration Tasks - Juniper SYSTEM BASICS - CONFIGURATION GUIDE V 11.1.X Configuration Manual

NOTE: When determining discontinuity, the MIB object must be a time-based counter
or number. When a polling interval expires and the event agent (router) needs to
perform a delta calculation, it first checks the discontinuity MIB object for that trigger.
If a discontinuity occurs, the agent does not perform the test for that trigger until the
next polling interval.

Objects Table

The objects table (mteObjectsTable) defines objects that you want to add to event
messages. In other words, you can create a list of user-specified objects and bind
them to a trigger event. This can provide a snapshot of other values on a router when
the trigger occurs. You can bind objects to a specific trigger, a type of test (for
example, existence or Boolean tests), or a type of event (for example, rising or falling
events).
NOTE: This release does not support the objects table.

Event Table

The event table (mteEventTable) defines what action you want the device to take
when a trigger occurs. This action can be in the form of a notification, setting a
specified MIB object, or both. The results of these actions are controlled within two
subordinate MIB tables notification and set.
Notifications (mteNotifications), or traps, define what the router sends when an event
occurs. These traps include the following:
Sets define certain modifications to other MIB objects based on a particular event.

Configuration Tasks

To configure the SNMP server event manager:
1.
When a Boolean or existence trigger occurs, the router sends an mteTriggerFired
trap.
When a rising threshold trigger occurs, the router sends an mteTriggerRising
trap.
When a falling threshold trigger occurs, the router sends an mteTriggerFalling
trap.
If a trigger fails to complete a test for any reason, the router sends a global
mteTriggerFailure trap.
If an event fails to set, the router sends an mteEventSetFailure trap.
