Figure 3-7. The Event Log Window
The top portion of the window contains the device information boxes, as well as
the event index number and the event description; the log itself includes the
following fields:
Index This index number is not the event’s index, but a separate
index that uniquely identifies this occurrence of the
event.
Time Indicates the date and time of each event occurrence.
Description Provides a detailed description of the alarm that
triggered the event: whether it was a rising or falling
alarm, the alarm index number, the alarm variable name
and object identifier (OID), the alarmSampleType
(1=absolute value; 2=delta value), the value that
triggered the alarm, the configured threshold that was
crossed, and the event description. Use the scroll bar at
the bottom of the log to view all the information
provided.
Each log will hold only a finite number of entries, which is determined by the
resources available on the device; when the log is full, the oldest entries will be
replaced by new ones.
