Chapter 3 Getting Started

Navigating to Different Nodes

There are a number of ways to navigate to different nodes in AlarmTracker Client,

but perhaps the easiest is to select a different node in the Tree View. When the

selection is changed in the Tree View, the contents of the Main View are updated

to reflect the new node selection.

You can always move the parent node by selecting View > View Parent Node or

by selecting the View Parent Node Toolbar option icon.

When using Grid View, you can navigate to a specific customer node by double

clicking the name of customer in the view. This will immediately select that

customer's node in the Tree View and set the focus to that view.

You can also navigate to a node in the EventsBar by right-clicking an Event and

choosing the Jump to Node.

Displaying Alarms

Probably the most often used Main View setting is the Alarm Details View. You

can select this view via the View > Alarm Details, or via the equivalent Toolbar

icon.

A sample of this view is shown in Figure 3-4.

This view shows Alarm objects for the currently selected Tree View node. There

are also filter options that allow you to include Alarms for all child nodes, and

options to show only open Alarms, display/hide Application Errors, display/hide

Excluded Alarms.

From this view, you can easily see the state and assignment status for the Alarms

associated with the selected node, and it allows you to view the constituent Events

for any of the Alarms seen in the view. It also allows you to easily manage the

state of these Alarms (i.e., change the assignment status). You can also select the

columns you want to see displayed
