Intelligent Monitoring and
Control
This chapter shows a programmer how to integrate SpectroRx and AlarmNotifier for intelligent
monitoring and control — automatic monitoring and analysis of alarms, and the automatic
execution of solutions.
In This Chapter
• How Automated Alarm Resolution Works
What happens when you integrate AlarmNotifier with SpectroRx.
• Step 1: Setting up Cases
How to build a data library of solutions (cases) to known problems.
• Step 2: Integrating SpectroRx and AlarmNotifier
How to integrate SpectroRx software with AlarmNotifier software.
• Running the Integrated System
How to run the integrated system.
How Automated Alarm Resolution Works
When you integrate AlarmNotifier with SpectroRx, this is what happens:
1. SPECTRUM detects an alarm on the network and informs AlarmNotifier.
2. AlarmNotifier forwards the alarm information to SpectroRx.
3. SpectroRx finds an executable solution based on its database of solutions
to past problems.
4. SpectroRx executes the solution and displays the result in a message box
and/or event log.
