are an organization administrator.

Option Description
Triggered alarms
Includes alarm severity, description, definition, and the target object. To
acknowledge an alarm, right-click the Acknowledged By text box and select
Acknowledge. If more than one system administrator monitors Data
Director, the acknowledgement mechanism allows them to communicate
that someone knows about the alarm.

trigger, where the alarm was define, the object the alarm is monitoring, who
defined the alarm, and the alarm status. You can create custom alarms from
