For more detailed information on Log and Event parameters refer to chapters 7 and 8 respectively.
Let’s say that you want to monitor the total packets received by an SNMP device whose IP address is 192.72.24.1.
Then you would like to save this value every 60 seconds between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM. And if the rate is greater
than 1000 per second, you want to save the value and at the same time be informed of the situation through an
audible alarm, such as a beep. Suppose you consider this as a critical condition and would like to call it “Hot_1.”
