FIGURE 9-29 Retrieve Alarms Form
The following options are available on the retrieve alarms dialog:
• Enable retrieve alarms: When selected it will enable this feature and current alarms on MAP devices will be displayed
during discovery.
• Display retrieved Info alarms: When selected it will enable displaying retrieved alarms that have 'Info' severity. The
current NMS shows these as Info events only and no Alert is created.
• Maximum alarms retrieved: Number of retrieved alarms (per device) that should be processed and displayed. If this
number is lower than current count of retrieved alarms the lowest severity alarms will be ignored.

9.10.3 Restrictions / Limitations
Since the Alarm Management system uses traps as another source for device alerts, there are the following interactions
between retrieval of alarms through this feature and retrieval of device changes through traps:
• A few of the retrieved alarms do not have enough information to be correlated to the corresponding alarms that were
received through traps.
• A few of the retrieved alarms do not have the corresponding alarms received through traps and also some of the alarms
received through traps do not have the corresponding alarms that can be retrieved from the device.
• Default severities used when displaying retrieved alarms are specified in the device while alarms received through traps
have default severities defined in NMS.
