Rmon Group 9-Events; Configuring Rmon Events (Cli Example) - HP 445946-001 Application Manual

3. Apply, verify, and save the configuration.
RMON group 9—events
The RMON Event group allows you to define events that are triggered by alarms. An event can be a log
message, an SNMP trap message, or both.
When an alarm is generated, it triggers a corresponding event notification. Use the /cfg/rmon/alarm
x/revtidx and /fevtidx commands to correlate an event index to an alarm.
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
(/cfg/sys/syslog) must be configured for event log notification to work properly. Each log event
generates a SYSLOG of type RMON that corresponds to the event.

Configuring RMON Events (CLI example)

1. Configure the RMON Event parameters.
>> /cfg/rmon/event 5
>> RMON Event 5# descn "SYSLOG_generation_event"
>> RMON Event 5# type log
>> RMON Event 5# owner "Owner_event_5"
2. Apply and save the configuration.
>> RMON Alarm 5# apply
>> RMON Alarm 5# save
This configuration creates an RMON event that sends a SYSLOG message each time it is triggered by an
alarm.
(Select RMON Event 5)
