Alarms
Each row provides detailed information about the alarm (see Table 4
on page 31 for details). More detailed information about each
attribute’s code, value, and definition can be found in Chapter 7,
“Troubleshooting Alarms” on page 171.
Once the alarm is resolved, the alarm returns to the green status to
indicate that the attribute has returned to a normal state.
You can access and view alarm status at both the service and the com-
ponent levels. There are two pages under the Alarms tab: Main and
History. When the tab is selected, it defaults to the Main page, which
provides details of the current status.
Main Page
The Main page of the Alarms tab gives the current status of the selected
service or component attributes. This page is an overview of each
attribute’s current alarm level. You can use this page to get a quick, but
detailed, sense of what may be causing a system alarm. The Main page
can also be used to track the daily status of the system in order to
prevent major alarms.
