Alarm Wizard

An Alarm is invoked by right-clicking a device driver in the Device Tree. It monitors a set of user-defined

conditions and sends email notifications when the conditions are met. Once an alarm has been added to

the tree, left-click it to edit the conditions. See Alarm Editor for more information. Alarms are also stored

for later viewing using the Alarm Log.

Settings Tab

Label

Label is the name of the item as displayed in the Device Tree.

All items in the Device Tree are sorted alphabetically by label. Folders can be used to organize items.

Description

Description is optional text that describes the item. It can be any descriptive text or be left blank.

Group Settings Tab

These determine which user groups can see this item in the tree. Unchecking the default “Allow Everyone”

enables selecting individual groups. If a group cannot see an item, items under it are also unseen.

There are “Check All” and “Uncheck All” buttons in the upper-right corner to make major changes easier.

Advanced Tab

Name

Name is used for advanced features. If left blank, it will be assigned automatically. It is recommended

that the default value not be changed. It can be up to 48 characters. Only A–Z, a–z, 0–9, period (.) and

underscore (_) are allowed. Names are case sensitive.

Node ID

This internal reference ID of this node is read-only — and rarely needed by the user.

Alarm Log

Click this Toolbar button to view past alarm messages. Both active and optional clear messages are

stored in the log. Several options are available to limit the messages seen:

 Filter — Type a word or phrase. Press “Enter” to activate the filter.

 Month Selection — Select a month from the list to display only messages from that month.

 All/Active/Clear — Choose to display all messages, only activation messages or only clear messages.

 Refresh Button — Refresh the list of alarms from the server.

 Reset Button — Reset all of the above search options.

Additionally, the “Time”, “Type” and “Message” headers may be clicked to sort the list by that field.

Clicking the header a second time will reverse the sort order. Clicking the alarm message itself will

display the Alarm Editor window if the users’ access permits it.
