Alarms List View
The vmAlarm Dashboard provides an Alarms List View, which takes up the majority of
the dashboard.
Purpose and Content
Each alarm row in the Alarms List contains an object icon that identifies the source of
the alarm, an alarm icon that indicates the severity of the alarm, the time that the alarm
occurred, and the text of the alarm. The columns are sortable so that alarms can be listed
in order by source, severity, time or message. Simply click a column heading to sort the
table by that column.
If you click an alarm’s severity icon, a popup for acknowledging or clearing that alarm
is displayed. If you click the message or any other column in the row, you are provided
with a popup menu. From the popup menu, you can choose to view either a vmExplorer
Dashboard or a vmMonitor Dashboard for the corresponding object.
For more information about the Alarms List View, see the chapter titled “Interacting
with the Cartridge for VMware” in the vFoglight Cartridge for VMware User Guide.
