Chapter 14 Alarm Monitoring and Management
14.5.5 Row Display Options
• Use Default
• Transient (T)
Transient and Use Default severity alarms only appear in alarm profiles. They do not appear when you
view alarms, history, or conditions.
14.5.5 Row Display Options
In the network view, the Alarm Profiles window displays the following check boxes at the bottom of the
window:
• Only show service-affecting severities—If unchecked, the editor shows severities in the format
<sev1>/<sev2> where <sev1> is a service-affecting severity and <sev2> is not service-affecting. If
checked, the editor only shows <sev1> alarms.
• Hide reference values—Highlights alarms with non-default severities by clearing alarm cells with
default severities. This check-box is normally greyed out. It becomes active only when more than
one profile is listed in the Alarm Profile Editor window. (The check box text changes to “Hide
Values matching profile Default” in this case.
• Hide identical rows—Hides rows of alarms that contain the same severity for each profile.
14.5.6 Applying Alarm Profiles
In CTC node view, the Alarm Behavior window displays alarm profiles for the node. In card view, the
Alarm Behavior window displays the alarm profiles for the selected card. Alarm profiles form a
hierarchy. A node-level alarm profile applies to all cards in the node except cards that have their own
profiles. A card-level alarm profile applies to all ports on the card except ports that have their own
profiles.
At the node level, you can apply profile changes on a card-by-card basis or set a profile for the entire
node. At the card-level view, you can apply profile changes on a port-by-port basis or set alarm profiles
for all ports on that card. Figure 14-3 shows the alarm profiles for an eight-port STM-1 card.
