Question

How to determine the current failure rate for an alarm at any time after the initial trigger. The initial failure rate may be more obvious to find, but would one find the current fail rate possibly hours later?

Answer

While the initial SNMP trap, log and the alarm track the intial failure rate of a monitored threshold, it may not be obvious how to get the current fail rate. At the bottom of "show threshold", the command reports the status of all alarms with regards to current fail rate in the last polling interval.
