Introduction
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 page to further investigate the problem.
