connUnitEventEntry 1.3.6.1.3.94.1.11.1

Each entry contains information on a specific event for the given connectivity unit.

Index connUnitEventUnitId

connUnitEventIndex

connUnitEventUnitId 1.3.6.1.3.94.1.11.1.1

The connUnitId of the connectivity unit that contains this event table.

Same as connUnitId.

connUnitEventIndex 1.3.6.1.3.94.1.11.1.2

Each connectivity unit has its own event buffer. As it wraps, it might write over previous events. This

object is an index into the buffer. It is recommended that this table is read using “getNext”s to

retrieve the initial table. The management application should read the event table at periodic

intervals and then determine if any new entries were added by comparing the last known index

value with the current highest index value. The management application should then update its

copy of the event table. If the read interval is too long, it is possible that there might be events that

might not be contained in the agent's internal event buffer.

An agent might read events 50-75.

At the next read interval, connUnitEventCurrID is 189. If the management application tries to read

event index 76 and the agent's internal buffer is 100 entries maximum, event index 76 is no longer

available.

The index value is an incrementing integer starting from 1 every time there is a table reset. On

table reset, all contents are emptied and all indices are set to 0. When an event is added to the

table, the event is assigned the next-higher integer value than the last item entered into the table.

If the index value reaches its maximum value, the next item entered causes the index value to roll

over and start at 1 again.

Mapped to swEventIndex.

connUnitEventId 1.3.6.1.3.94.1.11.1.3

The internal event ID. Incriminated for each event, ranging between 0 and connUnitMaxEvents. Not

used as table index to simplify the agent implementation. When this reaches the end of the range

specified by connUnitMaxEvents, the ID rolls over to start at 0. This value is set back to 0 at reset.

The relationship of this value to the index is that internal event ID might represent a smaller

number than a 32-bit integer (for example, maximum 100 entries) and would only have a value

range up to connUnitMaxEvents.

Same function as connUnitEventIndex.

connUnitREventTime 1.3.6.1.3.94.1.11.1.4

This is the real time when the event occurred. It has the following format.
