Sample Type The method used for monitoring the variable. Possible
options are:
• Rate - The alarm uses the counter’s rate in the last
interval.
• Total - The alarm uses the absolute number of the
counter from the time the device was last reset.
* Note: The Alarms and Events tool can only
configure alarms using the Rate method. To
configure alarms based on the absolute
number of packets, use the CLI (Command
Line Interface) or a third-party application.
