Alarm Policies
Use the Alarm Policies screen to view the total number of events occurring for a selected device model
name. Use this information to optionally change an event or alarm state to true or false depending on
your recognition of the event or alarm’s legitimacy. Additionally, the severity of the event or alarm can
also be modified once it has been reviewed for significance.
Previous versions of WMS enabled users to forward an alarm to a specific Email or SNMP interface.
This was slightly cumbersome in that users had to enter the Email or SNMP interface details multiple
times based on the number of alarms they wanted to forward.
Users can create these interfaces once and associate them to alarms. Users can also associate these
interfaces at a site and group level. This enables users to obtain all the alarms from the devices
belonging to a specific site. Additionally, users who are managing groups can associate these interfaces
to groups and obtain the alarms from the devices belonging to those groups.
