DLP-G131 Refresh PM Counts at 15-Minute Intervals
Step 1 In node view, double-click the card where you want to view PM counts. The card view appears.
Step 2 Click the Performance tab.
Step 3 Click the 15 min radio button.
Step 4 Click Refresh. Performance monitoring parameters appear in 15-minute intervals synchronized with the time of day.
Step 5 View the Curr column to find PM counts for the current 15-minute interval.
Each monitored performance parameter has corresponding threshold values for the current time period. If the value of the counter exceeds the threshold value for a particular 15-minute interval, a threshold crossing alert (TCA) is raised. The number represents the counter value for each specific performance monitoring parameter.
Step 6 View the Prev-n columns to find PM counts for the previous 15-minute intervals.
Note If a complete 15-minute interval count is not possible, the value appears with a yellow background. An incomplete or incorrect count can be caused by monitoring for less than 15 minutes after the counter started, changing the node timing settings, changing the time zone settings, replacing a card, resetting a card, or changing port service states. When the problem is corrected, the subsequent 15-minute interval appears with a white background.
Step 7 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
DLP-G132 Refresh PM Counts at One-Day Intervals
Step 1 In node view, double-click the card where you want to view PM counts. The card view appears.
Step 2 Click the Performance tab.
Step 3 Click the 1 day radio button.
Step 4 Click Refresh. Performance monitoring appears in 1-day intervals synchronized with the time of day.
Step 5 View the Curr column to find PM counts for the current 1-day interval.
Each monitored performance parameter has corresponding threshold values for the current time period. If the value of the counter exceeds the threshold value for a particular 1-day interval, a TCA is raised. The number represents the counter value for each specific performance monitoring parameter.
Step 6 View the Prev-n columns to find PM counts for the previous 1-day intervals.
Note If a complete count over a 1-day interval is not possible, the value appears with a yellow background. An incomplete or incorrect count can be caused by monitoring for less than 24 hours after the counter started, changing node timing settings, changing the time zone settings, replacing a card, resetting a card, or changing port service states. When the problem is corrected, the subsequent 1-day interval appears with a white background.
Step 7 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-G153 Create RMON Alarm Thresholds
Step 1 In node view, double-click the card where you want to create the RMON alarm thresholds.
Step 2 In card view, click the Provisioning > Line Thresholds > RMON Thresholds tabs.
Step 3 Click Create. The Create Threshold dialog box appears.
Step 4 From the Slot menu, choose the appropriate card.
Step 5 From the Port drop-down list, choose the applicable port on the card you selected.
Step 6 From the Variable drop-down list, choose the variable. See Table 8-1 for a list of the MXP_MR_2.5G/MXPP_MR_2.5G threshold variables available in this field.
Step 7 From the Alarm Type drop-down list, indicate whether the rising threshold, falling threshold, or both the rising and falling thresholds will trigger the event.
Step 8 From the Sample Type drop-down list, choose either Relative or Absolute. Relative restricts the threshold to use the number of occurrences in the user-set sample period. Absolute sets the threshold to use the total number of occurrences, regardless of time period.
Step 9 Enter the appropriate number of seconds for the Sample Period.
Step 10 Enter the appropriate number of occurrences for the Rising Threshold.
Note For a rising type of alarm, the measured value must move from below the falling threshold to above the rising threshold. For example, if a network is running below a rising threshold of 1000 collisions every 15 seconds and a problem causes 1001 collisions in 15 seconds, the excess occurrences trigger an alarm.
Step 11 Enter the appropriate number of occurrences in the Falling Threshold field. In most cases, a falling threshold is set lower than the rising threshold.
Note A falling threshold is the counterpart to a rising threshold. When the number of occurrences is above the rising threshold and then drops below a falling threshold, it resets the rising threshold. For example, when the network problem that caused 1001 collisions in 15 minutes subsides and creates only 799 collisions in 15 minutes, occurrences fall below a falling threshold of 800 collisions. This resets the rising threshold so that if network collisions again spike over a 1000 per 15-minute period, an event again triggers when the rising threshold is crossed. An event is triggered only the first time a rising threshold is exceeded (otherwise, a single network problem might cause a rising threshold to be exceeded multiple times and cause a flood of events).
Step 12 Click OK to complete the procedure.
