Sample Type

The method used for monitoring the variable. Possible 
options are:

• Rate - The alarm uses the counter’s rate in the last 

interval.

• Total - The alarm uses the absolute number of the 

counter from the time the device was last reset.

* Note:  The Alarms and Events tool can only 

configure alarms using the Rate method. To 
configure alarms based on the absolute 
number of packets, use the CLI (Command 
Line Interface) or a third-party application.
