Alarms🔗

Alarms are notifications that inform the administrator about changes in the network state. Alarms information can be viewed from the Alarms navigation panel.

Active Alarms🔗

Active alarms are displayed in the Alarms view, under the Active Alarms tab.

Alarms can be searched by name and object type using the search field.

The Sort By feature is used to sort alarms. You can sort alarms by Severity or by their creation time by enabling the Created option.

Masked Alarms

Masked Alarms are alarms that are hidden from the Active Alarms list. You mask an alarm by clicking its Mask Alarm button.

When you mask an alarm, a pop-up box appears with additional options, including Mask Duration, which allows you to set a time duration for the alarm mask.

Alarm Mask🔗

Masked Alarms are listed under the tab titled Alarm Mask.

Show Mask Alarms allows you to view all masked alarms from within the Active Alarms display.

History🔗

The history of all notifications is displayed in the alarm’s navigation panel under the History tab.

Columns🔗

Each column showcases data pertinent to individual alarm events, with a corresponding description positioned at the top.

Filtering🔗

Each column features a form field positioned above it. These form fields enable the filtering of alarm data based on the content of the column. To use the filters, you choose a field(s), input a query, and press Enter on your keyboard to apply the filter. In addition to conventional search text, filters also accept Regex and glob patterns.

Before Timestamp🔗

Before Timestamp excludes events that happened after a set date. After the fields are set, only events that happened before the selected time value are displayed.

Type🔗

Type filters alarms by their type, which can be Alarm, Event or Clear. Setting the value to All shows all items and invalidates the filter.

Messages under Type and Severity are color-coded by Type.

Severity🔗

Severity filters alarms by their severity, such as Critical, Error, Warning, or Notice. Setting the value to All displays all items and disables the filter.

Amp Key🔗

The Amp Key filters alarms by key. The key is placed in brackets at the beginning of the alarm description.

Error Text🔗

The Error Text field filters alarms based on the content of Error Text column.

Element🔗

Element filters alarms by device name.

User🔗

The User column indicates who triggered an alarm. This field filters alarms by the User responsible for them.

Site🔗

Multisite

This column is only available on multisite systems.

The Site column indicates the site of the device.

Search🔗

The search feature at the top of the page allows you to search for any text displayed in the current list of alarms. Any matching text is highlighted in yellow.

Empty and Unassigned Fields🔗

To search for empty or unassigned objects, use - as a search term.

The TAIL tab lets you set the initial state of all filter field values. This is useful because it enables you to create a collection of default filter settings before creating custom search filters.

Add a Custom Search Filter

The button allows you to create a custom search filter. This is a user-defined collection of all filter settings. Multiple custom search filters can be created and toggled between when querying Alarm data.

When custom search filters are created, they are represented as numbered tabs with the word Search displayed on them. Clicking these tabs anywhere other than on the displayed “x” selects them and populates the fields with the assigned values. Clicking the “x“ deletes the search template and removes it from the list. Clicking Tail after creating or selecting a custom search will revert the filter values to the state saved via the Tail tab.

Copy a Custom Search Filter

The button allows you to clone all filters from the currently active view window. The clone is presented as a newly created active tab.

Navigating Rows🔗

The Navigate Rows buttons allow you to scroll the alarm history view. The page down-arrow buttons scroll recent alarms into view, and the page up-arrows scroll older alarms into view.
