909.0. "alarms without polling" by MAIL::HELTON () Thu Apr 11 1991 18:30

    I think I must be overlooking something very basic with the alarms FM.
    I would like to set up an alarm for the decnet nodes that will fire
    when the node drops off the network.
    I see examples that will "poll" the nodes at specified intervals to
    check for reachability.
    
    Is there a way to accomplish this using an alarm rule for an entity
    event that does not poll each node over and over?
    
    My customer does not feel that polling every 5 to 10 minutes will be
    acceptable.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Gary Helton
