Logging and Alarms
Details
When you do not know what an alarm means, or when you need direction in
solving the problem indicated, you should view alarm details.
Select the alarm from the list, and then click the Details button. The screen
that is displayed points you toward the cause of the alarm and possible
solutions for an associated problem. (See Figure 13-51.)
Figure 13-51.Viewing Alarm Details
General information that applies to all alarms of this type is listed in the Alarm
Details section. The interface explains what the alarm means and suggests
possible solutions or causes. For example, details for a “radiusAuthFailed”
alarm suggest that you verify that your Wireless Edge Services xl Module can
connect to its RADIUS server.
The Alarm Message shows information specific to this alarm—in Figure 13-51,
identifying the station that failed to authenticate. Other information specific
to the log is listed throughout the screen, with the time stamp at the top and
the status at the bottom.
Delete
You should periodically delete from the log alarms that are unimportant or no
longer relevant, so that you can easily focus on the most current alarms. For
example, you could group alarms by time stamp, use the
Shift key to select all
events before a particular date, and then click the Delete button.
