Assign User Assigns this alarm to one of the users displayed in the sub-menu by selecting that
user. An icon also appears in the expanded portlet indicating the alarm is assigned to
someone.
Clear Alarm Removes the alarm from the default alarm view and marks it as a candidate for the
database archiving process (DAP). Clearing an alarm is an indication to the system
that the alarm was resolved/addressed. If your system has propagation policies
enabled, clearing recalculates dependent alarms.
Clear Group of
Alarms
Removes a group of alarms from the default alarm view and marks them as
candidates for DAP.
This option is useful when you have many unimportant alarms that you want to clear
at the same time instead of individually. For example, perhaps you want to clear all
alarms that are informational and are more than a week old.
Before selecting this menu item, create a filter for the group of alarms that you want
to clear. When you select Clear Group of Alarms, a list of defined filters appears.
Select the appropriate filter and then click Execute. All open alarms that meet the
filter criteria are cleared.
Caution: The Clear Group of Alarms action is irreversible.
Direct Access Open an SNMP Mib Browser to the alarmed device, a CLI Terminal (Telnet window)
to the alarmed device, or ICMP Ping the device alarmed. Only those available appear
in the subsequent menu.
Email Alarm Opens the Email Alarm window, where you specify a subject and e-mail address to
which you want to mail the alarm’s content, and then click Send Email. Click Cancel
to end this operation without sending e-mail.
SMTP setup is required to e-mail an alarm. See SMTP Configuration on page 54 for
instructions about setting up e-mail from OpenManage Network Manager.
Show Performance Shows performance data for the selected interfaces in the Performance Dashboard
window. Click the edit tool to modify the dashboard view properties, entities, or

database. See Implementing DAP on page 73 for information about configuring such
policies.
