Resync Alarms
If you have the Event Services option installed, you can monitor alarms within your topological
display. When you open a topology window, you can see the current alarm state of the displayed
objects. The application also resynchronizes the displayed objects from time to time, but doing so
can slow application performance.
To manually update the represented topology without the performance penalty, click Resync
Alarms button on Resources manager (see Chapter 13, Resources) where you can manually update
the alarm state of a selected object.
Figure 21-26. Resync Alarms Button
When you select equipment in Resources manager clicking this button resynchronizes the
topology display with the equipment’s alarm state in the system.
NOTE:
You must select the parent equipment; you cannot resync a port or interface.
Also: This does not resync alarms or communicate with the device or any northbound system, and is
completely different from device resync.
This resyncs alarm state for topology. For example, if a device receives a critical open alarm, the
topology view for the equipment should go red. If for some reason if the topology view does not
reflect the alarm state properly, you can select the equipment and click alarm resync which will
force the application to resync between alarms and topology.
