Alarm Detection helps you define the criteria for the generation of alarm messages. You select a condition, or combine a set of conditions, that within specific limits, generate an alarm message. To monitor the system alarms, you use the Web InterfaceDesktop. Note that you can deliver alarm messages to SNMP monitoring systems, as well. An alarm can be in one of two states: new or closed. An open alarm is an indication of a certain occurrence or situation that has not been resolved yet. A closed alarm is a resolved indication.
To create a new Alarm Detection configuration, click Build → New Configuration in the Desktop, and then select Alarm Detection from the Configurations window.
To open an existing Alarm Detection configuration, double-click on the configuration in the Configuration browser, or right-click a configuration and then select View Configuration.
