Defining an Alarm for an SNMP Monitor That Compares Object Values (SRC CLI)

You can configure a monitor to compare a sample value to a specified value or range of values by using one of the following types of comparisons:

  • equal
  • unequal
  • less
  • less-or-equal
  • greater
  • greater-or-equal

Note: Configure only one monitor test at a time.

Before you define an alarm type, configure the associated SNMP alarm.

See Configuring an SNMP Alarm on a C-series Controller (SRC CLI).

To configure a monitor to compare a sample to a specified value or range of values:

  1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statements that configure SNMP monitoring for a boolean test. For example:
      [edit]
      user@host# edit snmp monitor alarm saeHeapUsage boolean-test

    where saeHeapUsage is the name of the alarm.

  2. Specify the type of boolean test. For example:
      [edit snmp monitor alarm saeHeapUsage boolean-test]
      user@host# set comparison greater
  3. Define the value that the test uses. For example:
      [edit snmp monitor saeHeapUsage boolean-test]
      user@host# value 14000000
