12.8.1. Columns description
Start Timestamp: Date and Time when the alarm condition appears (‘Start’ condition)
Message: Message (or name of the file) associated with the alarm.
System events appear between brackets.
Start: acknowledgment status of the ‘Start’ condition.
The possibilities are:
-
Not ack.: the alarm is still in process.
-
Ack’ed: the alarm has been processed successfully.
-
Auto ack.: the alarm has not been processed successfully.
In case of ‘system events’, it is always the case as it is not an alarm but an event.
Recipient: The name of the Recipient (from the list of Recipients).
The name is listed only if the alarm was sent successfully. With chained alarms, this
allows to show the one that was used. In case of ‘system events’, there is no name.
End Timestamp: Date and Time when the alarm condition disappears (‘End’ condition).
End: acknowledgment status of the ‘End’ condition.
When creating an alarm condition, there is an option ‘Notify end of alarm’. This option
will automatically generate an alarm when the condition generating the alarm disappears.
The possibilities are:
-
Not ack.: there is a ‘Notify end of alarm’ condition and the alarm is still in process.
-
Ack’ed: the ‘end of alarm’ has been processed successfully.
-
Auto ack.: the ‘end of alarm’ has not been processed successfully.
When there is no ‘end of alarm’, it is immediately indicated as ‘Auto ack.’
