9.9 Configuring Alarm Filters
9.9.1 Overview
Alert filters are used to filter and modify the properties of an incoming alert. When the alert matches specified criteria, an
action (such as sending an email) will occur.
To parse alarms, select Edit -> Configure -> Alarm Filters from the main menu of the Alarms Panel. The Alert Filter
Configuration form appears as shown in Figure 9-20.
FIGURE 9-20 Alert Filter Configuration Form
This form allows the Administrator to configure both the alert filter (the left side of the screen) and the filter action (the
right side of the screen).
Note: Many of the actions and fields are similar to setting Event Filters, so there are references when appropriate
The user can add, modify, or delete an Alert Filter from the left side of the form. Refer to
Table 9-5 for a summary of match
criteria.
At least one action needs to be associated with the incoming filtered alarm. For an alarm filter, click under filter action
to add one of the action types. These types are explained in 9.5.3.
