HAPTER 8: MANAGING SYSTEM EVENTS
Before you manage event transmission or reporting using the syslog server,
you set the IP address of the syslog server to which your Cuda 12000 writes
system log messages, as required by DOCSIS 1.1 standards. You may specify
the IP address of the local Syslog server on your Cuda 12000 or a remote
syslog server on another Cuda 12000.
To configure event transmission, follow this procedure:
1. In the Event Configuration window, click the Event Configuration tab.
2. Enter values for the parameters. (Refer to Table 8-1.)
3. Click Apply to commit the information or click Reset to return to the
previous values.
4. Click Refresh to update the information.
Throttle
Threshold
Read only. Number of events that the Cuda 12000 may
generate per event interval before throttling occurs.
Throttling is the process of eliminating excessive events. Note
that an event causing both a trap and a syslog message is still
treated as a single event. Values range from 0 to
4294967295. The default is 0.
Throttle Interval
(Seconds)
Read only. The interval, in seconds, over which the event
threshold applies. For example, if you configure an event
threshold of 20 and an event interval of 40 seconds, then the
Cuda 12000 may generate 20 events over 40 seconds before
throttling occurs. Values range from 0 seconds to
2147483647 seconds. The default is 1.
