Field Description
Index This index uniquely identifies an entry in the event table. Each entry defines one event that is to be generated after the appropriate conditions occur.
Description Specifies whether the event is a rising or falling event.
Type The type of notification that the Device Manager provides about this event. In the case of log, an entry is made in the log table for each event. In the case of trap, an SNMP trap is sent to one or more management stations. Possible notifications follow:
  • none
  • log
  • trap
  • log-and-trap
Community The SNMP community string acts as a password. Only those management applications with this community string can view the alarms.
LastTimeSent The value of sysUpTime at the time this event entry last generated an event. If this entry has not generated events, this value is zero.
Owner If traps are specified to be sent to the owner, this is the name of the machine which receives traps.
