Alarms | Key Portlets
103
Acknowledge / Unacknowledge Alarm —Acknowledges the selected Alarm(s). The current date
and time appear in the Ack Time field. Unacknowledges previously acknowledged alarm(s),
and clears the entries in the Ack By and Ack Time fields. The red “unacknowledged” icon
appears in the expanded portlet and turns to a green check “acknowledged” icon the alarm
has been acknowledged.
Assign User— Assign this alarm to one of the users displayed in the sub-menu by selecting that
user. An icon also appears in the expanded portlet indicating the alarm has been assigned to
someone.
Clear Alarm —Clearing the alarm removes the alarm from the default alarm view and marks it as a
candidate for the database archiving process (DAP). Essentially it is an indication to the
system that the alarm has been resolved/addressed. If your system has enabled propagation
policies, clearing recalculates dependent alarms.
Email Alarm —E-mail the alarm. Enter a subject an e-
mail address to which you want to mail the alarm’s
content, and click the + to add to the list of
addresses (the minus deletes them). Then click
Send Email. Clicking Cancel ends this operation
without sending e-mail. See SMTP Configuration
on page 69 for instructions about setting up e-mail
from Dell OpenManage Network Manager. See
Alarm Email on page 104 for an example of what
the content looks like.
Show Performance— Displays a performance dashboard
for the alarmed equipment. See Dashboard Views
on page 277 for more about these.
Aging Policy— This lets you select a policy that determines how long this alarm remains in the
database. See Redcell > Database Aging Policies (DAP) on page 50 for information about
configuring such policies.
