Configuring an RMON Event Chapter 6 Configuring Remote Monitoring (RMON) Describing an Event When an alarm event occurs, the CSS sends a description with the event notification. Because a description is not generated automatically, you must provide one. Use the description "description" command to provide a description. The description variable is the description for the RMON event. Enter a quoted text string with a maximum of 127 characters. To provide a description for the event, enter: (config-rmonevent[1])# description "This event occurs when service connections exceed 100" To remove the description from the event, enter: (config-rmonevent[1])# no description Assigning an Owner You must define the entity who configured this RMON event and is using the resources assigned to it. Use the owner "owner_name" command to define the owner. The owner_name variable is a quoted text string with a maximum of 127 characters. The owner for the event must be the same as the owner for the alarm. To define the owner named Boston Tech Lab, enter: (config-rmonevent[1])# owner "Boston Tech Lab" To remove the owner of the RMON event, enter: (config-rmonevent[1])# no owner You must reassign an owner before you can reactivate the RMON event. Defining the Notification of an Event When an RMON event occurs, the event type determines where the CSS sends the event notification. • A log event type designates that the event notification is made in a CSS log location (for example, CSS disk log file or session). For information on viewing log files, see the "Viewing Events in a Log File" section. To define the event as a log type (default), enter: (config-rmonevent[1])# type log Cisco Content Services Switch Administration Guide 6-8 OL-5647-02
