DescriptionScreen ele-

ments

This list displays the following options:

• Time posted (default selection): If this option is selected, the time stamps of when the re-

cords are posted on the Alarm History screen are displayed. A record for a component

is first posted on the Alarm History screen when the following conditions are met:

• Alarm is enabled on the component.

• Performance data collection is in progress.

P9000 Performance Advisor pings the component in the next data collection cycle to re-

ceive its current performance value, and also posts a new record on the Alarm History

screen. P9000 Performance Advisor again posts a new record for the same component

and displays the new time of posting under Time Posted when one of the following con-

ditions is met:

• The alarm is disabled or there are no I/Os transactions on the component.

• The performance of a component rises or drops below the set threshold level.

• Time updated: If this option is selected, the time stamps when P9000 Performance Advisor

last collected the latest performance values for all the components are displayed.

• Time dispatched: If this option is selected, the time stamps when P9000 Performance

Advisor dispatched the alarm notifications are displayed.

If a record is showing a blank entry for any of these time stamps, that particular record is

skipped during the filtering phase. Assuming that the I/Os transactions are not happening

on a particular component, and the alarm is also disabled. In such a case, the Time Updated

displays a blank entry for that component record. Hence, the record is skipped when you

filter based on Time Updated option.

Time Stamp list

This list displays the following options:

• All: This option is for viewing both the serious and the recovery alarms.

• Recovery Alarm: This option is for viewing records that are logged for alarm notifications

dispatched after the performance of a component dropped below the set threshold limit.

• Serious Alarm: This option is for viewing records that are logged for alarm notifications

dispatched when the performance of a component rises beyond the set threshold limit.

An alarm notification is dispatched only the first time when the performance of a compon-

ent goes beyond the set threshold limits.
