Description: The description of the events and actions which participate to the elaboration of the report. Send the report using the type of message selected by the bits 8 to 12. The report consists in the results of the measure which have been saved in the ippmReportTable. If the onEventSendReport(7) bit is unset the report is not saved.

The message sent is a notification defined in the ippmNotifications node. The notification sent depends on the step of the measure:

+ Singleton events are sent using the notification ippmSingletonAlarm; + Exceeded events duration are sent using the notification ippmEventsDurationExceededAlarm; + A report of a cycle of measure is sent using the notification ippmCycleOfMeasureReport; + A report of a complete measure is sent using the notification ippmCompletedMeasureReport;

Example 1: The setup of an alarm to be sent to the owner in a SNMP Trap each time the staircase crosses the metric threshold value of 5:

ippmReportSetupMetricThreshold 5 ippmReportSetupDefinition { onSingleton(1), reportOnlyUptoDownMetricResults(4), inSNMPTrapPDU(8) }

Example 2: The setup of a report to be sent to the owner in a SNMP informRequestPDU per measure cycle. It reports the staircase values corresponding to a metric threshold of 5:

ippmReportSetupMetricThreshold 5 ippmReportSetupDefinition { onMeasureCycle(2), reportOnlyUptoDownMetricResults(4), inInformRequestPDU(10), clearHistory(13) }

Default report: The default report provides the control protocol with an implicit mechanism to forward the result of a cycle of measure to the owner of the measure while deleting the results from the ippmHistoryTable on reception of the response to the InformRequestPDU : ippmReportSetupDefinition { onMeasureCycle(2), inInformRequestPDU(10), clearHistory(13) }
