Figure 4-2. Basic Alarm Log
The top portion of the Basic Alarm Log window contains the device information boxes, as
well as the Port Number assigned to the interface that experienced the alarm condition and
the type of alarm that was triggered; the remainder of the window contains the following
information about each alarm occurrence:
Index This index number uniquely identifies each occurrence of a rising or
falling event. Note that, since the alarm whose log is displayed in
Figure 4-2 experienced both rising and falling alarms, there are two sets
of event indices: one which identifies each instance of the rising alarm,
and one which identifies each instance of the falling alarm.
Time Indicates the date and time of each event occurrence.
Description Provides a detailed description of the condition which triggered the
alarm, including whether it was a Rising or Falling alarm, the Value
which triggered the alarm, and the configured Threshold that was
crossed.
TIP
For more information about the relationship between rising and falling alarms and the
hysteresis function that controls the generation of alarm events, see
How Rising and
Falling Thresholds Work , on page 4-27 .
