New Features in SPECTRUM 6.0
Software Release Notes Page 34
• Alarm Update / Alarm Clear By Read Only Users: These two options
allow SPECTRUM administrators to give read-only users the ability to
update (acknowledge, change status, etc.) and to clear alarms. This
replaces the need to modify the alarm_admin_by_read_only resource
in the .vnmrc file.
Primary/Secondary Alarms Clarified
The functionality of Primary and Secondary alarms has been augmented.
When you show only Primary alarms, a model with multiple alarms will
show all of the most severe such as a Critical, and a Major alarm on the
model will result in the Critical being shown while the Major is filtered
out. Now, if you have two alarms with the same severity on the same
model, BOTH alarms are shown.
Topological Location Button
The Topological Location button in the Location Tab has been enhanced
to show the DevTop view with the alarming model scrolled to the center of
the DevTop Screen.
Event Counter Added
An event counter was added to the Events tab page. The counter displays
at the bottom right of the Events Tab page showing the total number of
events in the following format: Showing 1 through 10 of 300 total events.
Clicking Next, Previous, Top, and Bottom buttons of the tab page
updates the number accordingly.
New Trouble Ticket Id Information In Alarm Manager
In the Enterprise Alarm Manager, the user is now able to display Trouble
Ticket ids in a column format. The user can also set the value of the
trouble_ticket_id_attribute from within the Enterprise Alarm Manager
view providing a quick and efficient way to modify trouble ticket strings
that are frequently long.
