> Field | Description
> --- | ---
> Interval | The interval in seconds over which the data is sampled and compared with the rising and falling thresholds. When setting this variable, care should be taken in the case of deltaValue sampling - the interval should be set short enough that the sampled variable is very unlikely to increase or decrease by more than 2^31 - 1 during a single sampling interval.
> Variable | The variable to be sampled. Only variables that resolve to an ASN.1 primitive type of INTEGER (INTEGER, Integer32, Counter32, Counter64, Gauge, or TimeTicks) may be sampled.
> SampleType | The method of sampling the selected variable and calculating the value to be compared against the thresholds. If the value is absoluteValue, the value of the selected variable will be compared directly with the thresholds at the end of the sampling interval. If the value is deltaValue, the value of the selected variable at the last sample will be subtracted from the current value, and the difference compared with the thresholds.
> Value | The value of the statistic during the last sampling period. For example, if the sample type is deltaValue, this value will be the difference between the samples at the beginning and end of the period. If the sample type is absoluteValue, this value will be the sampled value at the end of the period. This is the value that is compared with the rising and falling thresholds. The value during the current sampling period is not made available until the period is completed and will remain available until the next period completes.
> StartupAlarm | The alarm that may be sent when this entry is first set to valid.
> Rising Threshold | A threshold for the sampled statistic. When the current sampled value is greater than or equal to this threshold, and the value at the last sampling interval was less than this threshold, a single event will be generated.
> Rising EventId | The ID of the eventEntry that is used when a rising threshold is crossed.
> Falling Threshold | A threshold for the sampled statistic. When the current sampled value is less than or equal to this threshold, and the value at the last sampling interval was greater than this threshold, a single event will be generated.
> Falling EventId | The ID of the eventEntry that is used when a falling threshold is crossed. The eventEntry identified by a particular value of this index is the same as identified by the same value of eventIndex. If there is no corresponding entry in the eventTable, then no association exists. In particular, if this value is N/A, no associated event will be generated, as N/A is not a valid event index.
> FailedAttempts | The number of times the alarm variable was polled (in the active state) and no response was received.
> Owner | The ID of the user who configured this entry.
