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
