To display an alarm’s log
1 Display the RMON Alarms window, as described on
page 431.
2 Highlight the alarm(s) for which to display a log.
3 Push the Logs… button.
By default, an entry is added to the agent’s log every time an alarm trig-
gers and rearms. (You can change this behavior, as discussed on
page 441.)
An alarm’s log indicates the following information:
date and time
agent name
monitored object
threshold value and direction (< or >)
actual measured value for monitored object
whether a trap was sent
alarm description
The log reflects only entries since an alarm was last modified.
If the highlighted alarm is configured on more than one agent, a single
log window is shown that contains all relevant entries from the agents.
As with all agent log entries, the alarm log is stored only on the agent
itself. If a LanProbe is warm- or cold-started or a Power Agent is killed
and restarted, the log information is lost.
You can also display the log for an agent with the RMON Log Table
application, as discussed on page 517.
