RMON group 9—events
The RMON Event group allows you to define events that are triggered by alarms. An event can be a log
message, an SNMP trap message, or both.
When an alarm is generated, it triggers a corresponding event notification. Use the /cfg/rmon/alarm
x/revtidx and /fevtidx commands to correlate an event index to an alarm.
RMON events use SNMP and SYSLOGs to send notifications. Therefore, an SNMP host (/cfg/sys/snmp) must
be configured for trap event notification to work properly.
RMON uses a SYSLOG host to send syslog messages. Therefore, an existing SYSLOG host (/cfg/sys/syslog)
must be configured for event log notification to work properly. Each log event generates a SYSLOG of type
RMON that corresponds to the event.
Configuring RMON group 9 (CLI example)
1. Configure the RMON Event parameters.
>> /cfg/rmon/event 5 (Select RMON Event 5)
>> RMON Event 5# descn "SYSLOG_generation_event"
>> RMON Event 5# type log
>> RMON Event 5# owner “Owner_event_5”
2. Apply and save the configuration.
>> RMON Alarm 5# apply (Make your changes active)
>> RMON Alarm 5# save (Save for restore after reboot)
This configuration creates an RMON event that sends a SYSLOG message each time it is triggered by an alarm.
