Alarms
About Alarms
The alarm capabilities in DCPM enable the user to be notified of any imminent threat or required
action to the monitored IT infrastructure.
Since alarms can be defined for all existing Components (except Enterprise) different attributes
of these Components (like voltage, current, temperature etc.) can be monitored. This allows for a
highly customized system that fits the required needs.
All Alarms are based on a specific set or source of information, the following sources are
available:
 SNMP - Traps sent to DCPM from connected devices
 Monitoring - Data from devices is read and analyzed by DCPM every 5 minutes
 Trending - Aggregated monitoring data over longer periods of time
 Keep alive - When communication with devices or DCPM fails
 Formulas (as from version 1.4.0) – Alarms on formulas
