| Description | Each connectivity unit has its own event buffer.
As it wraps, it may write over previous events.
This object is an index into the buffer.
It is recommended that this table be 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 may
be events that may not be contained in the
agent's internal event buffer.
For example, an agent may read events 50-75.
At the next read interval, connUnitEventCurrID
is 189. If the management app tries to read
event index 76, and the agent's internal buffer
is 100 entries max, event index 76 will no longer
be available.
The index value is an incrementing integer starting
from one every time there is a table reset.
On table reset, all contents are emptied and
all indeces are set to zero. 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 will cause the index value to
roll over and start at one again. |
