NMS200 Portlets

ProSafe Network Management Software NMS200

Rather than filtering with the pie graph, the expanded portlet lets you either the pick list at the

top left, or create custom filtering by clicking Advanced Filters.

Right clicking an alarm lets you select from the following menu items:

• Acknowledge / Unacknowledge Alarm —

Acknowledges the selected Alarm(s). The

current date and time appear in the Ack Time field. Unacknowledges previously

acknowledged alarm(s), and clears the entries in the Ack By and Ack Time fields. The red

“unacknowledged” icon appears in the expanded portlet and turns to a green check

“acknowledged” icon the alarm has been acknowledged.

• Assign User — Assig

n 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 has

been assigned to someone.

• Clear Alarm — Clearing the alarm removes the alarm from the default alarm view and

marks it as a ca

ndidate for the database archiving process (DAP). Essentially it is an

indication to the system that the alarm has been resolved/addressed. If your system has

enabled propagation policies, clearing recalculates dependent alarms.

• Email Alarm — E-mail the alarm. Enter a subject an e-mail address to which you want to

mail the alarm’s

content, and click the + to add to the list of addresses (the minus deletes

them). Then click Send Email. Clicking Cancel ends this operation without sending

e-mail. See SMTP Configuration on p

age 28 for instructions about setting up e-mail from

NMS200. You can also consult the NMS200 Administration Guide for inst

ructions about

how to set up application server e-mails. See Alarm Email on page 55

for an example of

what the content looks like.
