The AlarmMgr Utility
EPICenter Concepts and Solutions Guide 189
Using the AlarmMgr Command
The AlarmMgr utility is located in the EPICenter
bin
directory,
<EPICenter_install_dir>/bin
. By
default this is
\Program Files\Extreme Networks\EPICenter 5.0\bin
in Windows, or
/opt/extreme/epc5_0/bin
in a UNIX environment.
This command includes options for specifying EPICenter server access information and alarm filtering
parameters.
The syntax of the command is as follows:
AlarmMgr -user <EPICenter username> <options>
The EPICenter user name is required. All other parameters are optional.
The basic command displays information about the last 300 alarms in the EPICenter database. By using
filtering options, you can display information about selected alarms. You can specify a time period of
interest as well as characteristics of the alarms you want to include.
You can select alarms based on criteria such as the alarm name, severity, category, source (the IP address
or IP address and port that generated the alarm) and whether the alarm has been acknowledged. You can
combine many of these criteria so that only alarms that meet all your criteria will be included in the
results. For example, you may want to display only critical alarms from a specific device, or all alarms in
a specific category that are not acknowledged.
Table 9 specifies the options you can use with this command:
