Configure RMON Alarms and Events

The JUNOS software supports monitoring routers from remote devices. These values are measured against thresholds and trigger events when the thresholds are crossed. You configure remote monitoring (RMON) alarm and event entries to monitor the value of a Management Information Base (MIB) object.

For more information on configuring RMON alarm and event entries, see Configure RMON Alarms and Events and Summary of RMON Alarm and Event Configuration Statements.

For more information on monitoring integer-valued MIB objects, see Monitor RMON Alarms and Events.

To configure RMON alarm and event entries, you include statements at the [edit snmp] hierarchy level of the configuration:

[edit snmp]

rmon {

    alarm index {

        description text-description;

        falling-event-index index;

        falling-threshold integer;

        interval seconds;

        rising-event-index index;

        rising-threshold integer;

        sample-type (absolute-value | delta-value);

        startup-alarm (falling-alarm | rising alarm | rising-or-falling-alarm);

        variable oid-variable;        

    event index {

        community community-name;

        description description;

        sample-type type;

    }

}
