9.6.2 Alarm Service - Event Alarms
The Alarm Service has event alarms, listed in Table 7, that you may map to any configured action—
for example, an e-mail action or a file write action.
To view or change the event assignments for any event alarm:
• Log on as Administrator and click on the Configure tab.
• In the left side of the window, click on Domain Management.
• In the right side of the window, double-click on Local Domain, Services and Applications,
Alarm Service and finally Event Alarms to display the alarm descriptions.
• Double-click on any event alarm to open the Event Assignments window, which displays all
actions that have been created.
• To link an action to the selected alarm, click to place a check mark to the left of the Action Name.
• By default, selected actions are executed both when an alarm is received and when it is cleared.
To change this setting, highlight an action and choose a setting in the Execute Type box:
• Both (default) - Action is executed both when an alarm condition occurs and when it is cleared.
• Active Only - Action is executed only when an alarm condition occurs.
• Cleared Only - Action is executed only when an alarm condition is cleared.
• When all actions are configured, click OK in the Event Assignments window.
• Configured actions appear in the Mapped
Actions column, as shown at right. The first
character signifies the type of action:
@ designates an E-Mail action
| designates a File Write action
> designates a Run External Program action
(Some actions may be hidden from view because of space restrictions. They can be revealed by
double-clicking on an alarm to open the Event Assignments window.)
• Click on the File menu at the top of the window, and then click on Save. (Instead, you may click
on the Save button on the toolbar.) Click OK.
