Enabling or disabling alarms

By default, P9000 Performance Advisor monitors only those components for which alarms are enabled

and sends appropriate notifications to intended recipients when required. Though threshold and

dispatch settings are configured on components, they are not monitored until you enable alarms on

those components. You must manually activate or enable an alarm on a component for P9000

Performance Advisor to start monitoring the selected component and send notifications. To enable

alarms on components:

1. Click Alarms in the left pane.

2. Under the Alarms Configuration tab, select the check boxes for the corresponding component

records. The Edit option is enabled only when you select the check boxes for component records,

for which you want to enable or disable an alarm.

You can also filter component records based on their alarm status, and then enable or disable

alarms on these components. For more information, see “Filtering records in Alarms

table” on page 147.

• To enable alarms on components, click Enable. By default, the current state for a newly added

component record appears as NO under Active on the Alarm Configuration screen.

The state under Active changes to YES, which implies that the selected component now be

monitored by P9000 Performance Advisor.

• To disable alarms on components, click Disable.

The state under Active changes to NO. In the Alarm History table, a new record is displayed

for this component and the Level is shown as Closed, which implies that there is no further

activity related to this component record till the time the alarm generation is enabled again.
