Displaying Fabric Watch Alarm Information
From the Fabric Watch module, you can view two types of reports:
Alarm notifications, which displays the alarms that have occurred for a selected class/area
Alarm configuration, which displays threshold and alarm configurations for a selected class/area
Displaying an Alarm Configuration Report
Use the Threshold Configuration tab, Configuration Report subtab to display a report of the
configuration for a selected class/area. The following information is displayed:
Threshold settings (labeled Threshold Configuration)

You can scroll through this information but cannot make changes.
