Viewing the Alarms Dialog Box
To reach this dialog box, either:
• Right-click any object in the tree pane or view panes and select Alarms.
• Highlight any object in the tree pane or view panes and select Alarms from the Display menu.
The Alarms dialog box displays the alarms associated with a selected resource. You can select
individual alarms for the resource and display detailed information and available repair actions
or act on those alarms. To view a summary of alarms for the entire system, see Viewing a Summary
of Alarms.
The Alarms dialog box provides this information about the selected alarm:
• Alarm severity
The Severity column contains a colored icon corresponding to the severity of the alarm. Red
icons represent Critical and Major alarms. Yellow icons represent Minor, Warning, and
Indeterminate alarms. See Alarm Severity.
• Time and date the alarm occurred
• Description of the alarm, including the probable cause
• The type of alarm
• Whether or not the alarm is suppressed
• Whether the alarm is dialed out to your service provider (assuming your system console is
configured to dial out)
The Save button in the Alarms dialog box allows you to save an html file containing detailed alarm
information. This file contains detailed information for every alarm currently existing on the system,
not just those on the selected object or alarm.
You can also view alarms for a selected resource without opening the Alarms dialog box as
explained in Viewing the Alarms Tab.
