Object Name Type Product Mapping Access Description
*fcConnUnitE
ventIndex
Unsigned32 An event index. R Each connectivity unit has its
own event buffer. As it wraps,
it may write over previous
events. This object is an index
into the buffer. It is
recommended that this table
be read using "getNexts" to
retrieve the initial table. The
management application
should read the event table at
periodic intervals and then
determine if any new entries
were added, by comparing
the last known index value
with the current highest index
value. The management
application should then update
its copy of the event table. If
the read interval is too long, it
is possible that there may be
events that may not be
contained in the agent’s
internal event buffer. For
example, an agent may read
events 50-75. At the next read
interval,
fcConnUnitEventCurrID is 189.
If the management app tries to
read event index 76, and the
agent’s internal buffer is 100
entries max, event index 76
will no longer be available.
