Configuring an RMON Alarm Chapter 6 Configuring Remote Monitoring (RMON) The owner_name variable is a quoted text string with a maximum of 127 characters. Enter the same name as the owner of the event. To define the owner named Boston Tech Lab, enter: (config-rmonalarm[1])# owner "Boston Tech Lab" To remove the owner of the RMON alarm, enter: (config-rmonalarm[1])# no owner Finding and Defining a Sample Variable For an alarm condition, RMON samples a configured sample variable associated with a MIB object. MIB objects to consider include: • svcExt.mib - Contains service objects (for example, apSvcConnections is the MIB object for the current number of TCP connections to this service). • cntExt.mib - Contains content rule objects (for example, apCntHits is the MIB object for the total number of hits on this service for this content rule). Refer to Chapter 5, Configuring Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), for information on CSS Enterprise MIBs. Use the lookup command to look up a MIB object and view its description. For example, to view the description for the apSvcConnections object, enter: (config-rmonalarm[1])# lookup apSvcConnections ASN Name: apSvcConnections MIB: svcext Object Identifier: 1.3.6.1.4.1.2467.1.15.2.1.20 Argument Type: Integer Range: 0-4294967295 Description: The current number of TCP connections to this service Use the sample-variable mib_object command to specify the sample variable for this RMON alarm.
