Field Description
Fault Management
• Alarm Acknowledgement—Allows you to specify automatic or manual
alarm acknowledgement in the Alarm Browser window. If you choose
manual alarm acknowledgment, you must manually acknowledge
alarms. Cleared alarms move from the Alarm Browser to the Alarm Log.
If you choose automatic alarm acknowledgment, the Cisco MGM server
automatically acknowledges alarms when they are cleared and moves
them from the Alarm Browser to the Alarm Log. Before alarms move to
the Alarm Log, they must be both cleared and acknowledged.
Note You can still manually acknowledge alarms in automatic
acknowledgement mode.
• Overwrite Alarm Notes—Enables or disables the ability to overwrite
alarm notes created by another user.
• Alarm Un-Acknowledgement—Enables or disables the ability to
unacknowledge alarms that have been acknowledged.
Domain Management Allows you to specify how node names longer than 25 characters are
truncated in the Network Map. If a string is longer than 25 characters, the
first 22 characters display followed by an ellipsis (...).You can choose to
truncate the first or last characters of the node name.
