Alarms
The Alarms tab provides information to trace the source of an alarm
and to review an alarm’s history. This tab offers two pages of
information.
• The Main page displays a table of the attributes actively being
monitored, showing their current state. Each row represents a
monitored attribute and the color represents the alarm state. The
table includes the attribute code, the description, and the alarm
time of faults.
• The History page provides query functionality for attribute alarm
histories. Reviewing the alarm history is useful for preventing grid
issues and for proactive grid maintenance. The query mechanism
operates in the same fashion as custom reports (page 41).
See Chapter 3 for a full description of the alarm capability.
Reports
The Reports tab starts with a form to create a quick report or custom
query about a selected attribute. There are two kinds of reports avail-
able, chart and text, selected using the appropriate page option.
• The Chart page produces graphical data for the selected attribute.
• The Text page produces tables of data.
Both are useful tools for analyzing the system and for troubleshooting
alarms. See Chapter 4 for a full description.
Configuration
The Configuration tab offers two pages for configuring the main prop-
erties of the service or component, and for setting the alarm
monitoring features.
