Alarm Monitor
Use the Alarm Monitor to investigate one or more raised alarms.
About alarms
Alarms are warnings generated by events. Alarms communicate the
same information as events. However, alarms are reported in the Alarm
Monitor instead of the Event Browser, and are managed differently than
events:
„
Alarms appear in the Alarm Monitor only for Minor, Major, and
Critical events (not Information events). All events can be reported
in the Event Browser (depending on filtering criteria defined in the
Event Browser).
„
The first time an event occurs, it generates an alarm that appears in
the Alarm Monitor. If the same event continues to occur, a new
alarm is not generated. Instead, the time and date assigned to the
original generated alarm is updated.
„
Alarms can be cleared from the Alarm Monitor, but the event that
generated the alarm is not cleared from the event log or the Event
Browser.
Each alarm in the Alarm Monitor has Help text that often provides a
solution to the problem. If the solution is not apparent, use the Event
Browser or the Maintenance screen to further investigate the problem.
