Alarms can indicate network issues which require the attention of IT administrators. There are two views available in this window: Alarm Details and Timeline. The Alarm Details view opens by default and contains a table showing all active alarms. The Timeline view is a visual display of alarms that occurred during a period of time that you specify. You can manipulate the timeline to show alarms for a specific time interval. The default time period for which alarms are displayed in both views is 24 hours.
Use the refresh icon to refresh the data that displays here. The Alarm Details table lists information about all active alarms. Use the column picker to select which columns are displayed. Your column selections are maintained even if you go to another window and return, and when you log out and log in again. Horizontal scrolling is available for this table when there are too many columns to fit in your display window.
Alarm Details default table columns include:
The following columns are optional:
To remove one or more alarms, or remove redundant entries, select the check box next to the alarm, and then select Clear Selected Alarms. Cleared alarms then become events and are displayed in the event log.
To clear multiple alarms at the same time, either select the check box in the table header to select all alarms, select the check boxes individually, or shift-click to select check boxes for multiple alarms. Then select Clear Selected Alarms.
The Alarms Timeline is a visual indicator of when and how many active alarms have occurred. Select and drag inside the timeline to choose a specific time period within the seven-day time frame. The complete view of the timeline displays up to seven days of information. Select the menu icon to download alarm data. The Alarm Details table displays below the timeline.
