Alarm Action Manager enables you to automatically respond to alarms in your Extreme AirDefense managed network with predetermined actions configured using alarm rules. Automating your response to the alarms enables you to focus on other critical administrative tasks.
An Alarm Action Manager rule set consists of lists of Alarms, Filters, and Actions. The list of Alarms contains those alarms for which you need to take specific action. The list of Filters contain a set of conditions that filters for a specific sub-set of alarms from those raised. The list of Actions contains the actions that will be automatically taken for these alarms.
An Alarm Action Manager rule can contain one or more of Alarms, Filters, and Actions. You may define as many Alarm Action Manager rules as required.
Alarm Action Manager rules are configured from the Alarm Action Manager screen. This screen is launched by selecting the Configuration > Operational Settings > Alarm Action Manager menu path.
