Configuring alarm filters

Alarm filters allow you to filter the alarms that display in the Configure Alarms screen available from the Alarm Settings tab.

The All alarm filter exists by default and displays all alarms associated with the node that is selected in the Installations tree.

To limit the alarms that display in the Configure Alarms screen to only alarms that are of specific interest, create an alarm filter.

To create an alarm filter, you list specific alarm characteristics in the filter. When the alarm filter is selected, only the alarms that have the characteristics specified in the filter display in the Configure Alarms screen.

The three characteristics available for filtering alarms are

Enabled/Disabled
Alarm Priority
Server role

For example, you can create an alarm filter that displays only Enabled alarms that have the Major priority level and are associated with the Integration Service server role Entity that contains a logical, predefined set of components (system software or certified third-party software) deployed in the Data Center and Site Zones that provide specific functionality for the system..

You can also edit and delete alarm filters. You can edit or delete any alarm filter created by an administrator. You cannot edit or delete the All alarm filter.
