See Alarms in Topologies on page 251 for a description of how alarms appear in the topology
portlet. The
Expanded Alarm Portlet section below describes additional alarm portlet capabilities.
The Settings tool lets you select an Alarm Chart, the expanded Alarms portlet’s totals, or no chart.
The last two options permit selecting a filter. The Alarm Chart is a filter itself. If no data exists for
the chart and the Chart option is on, the portlet returns to “no-chart” mode.
Settings persist if you have Admin rights or the Portlet is on your Public/Private pages (like standard
behavior).
NOTE:
Changes appear after you click Apply. The Filter panel disappears when you select the Show Chart
option.
In addition to the Alarms summary portlet, there is the:
•
Expanded Alarm Portlet
• Alarms Menu
• Parent/Child Alarm Correlation: Alarm Details Panel
• Alarm Email
Expanded Alarm Portlet
The expanded Alarm portlet appears when you click the plus (+) in the top right corner of the
smaller screen.
This displays listed alarms, totals by severity for alarm types found, and Snap Panel details of a
selected alarm. By default this screen adds the first of the following columns to those visible in the
Event History portlet. To add the others listed here, right-click, and select Add Columns to change
the screen appearance.
NOTE:
All severity totals appear in expanded view. This display updates automatically when alarms clear.
