Enterprise Alarm Manager (EAM)
Alarm/Event Usability
The Enterprise Alarm Manager (EAM) has been made more intuitive and
easy to use. The enhancements include:
• The user can see which alarms are hidden.
• The user can show selected hidden alarms.
• Colors have been added to the filter dialog condition page.
• SpectroSERVER filtering is available for all fields/types such as "condi-
tion", "date/time", "model type", "assignment", "cause", and "state."
• The choices of "or" and "not" have been added.
• The performance of the filtering dialog has been improved.
• Icons are used for Acknowledged and Clearable column headers.
• Troubleshooters can now be assigned across landscapes.
• Reset and Clear buttons were added to the sort dialog. In addition, the sort
dialog is not cleared out when switching sort criteria.
Persistent Alarms
SpectroSERVER's current alarms are now preserved and reinstated upon
restart after a crash or when SpectroSERVER has shut down. This
eliminates loss of data and duplication of effort in the management of
alarms by retaining alarm-related information such as troubleshooter
assignments, status, etc. when SpectroSERVER unexpectedly shuts
down.
Filter Dialog Enhancements
The filter dialog has changed for Alarm Manager and Event Log
applications. Both have a new filter page named, "Model Name" which
consists of a table labeled, "Show Model Name" which allows names to be
added or deleted from the list. Names can be added to the table and
applied to the current data allowing only alarms/events with specified
model names to be displayed.
