Querying alarms from the All Alarms page
Through the query function available on the All Alarms page, you can search alarms that meet
specified query criteria. There are two alarm query methods available on the All Alarms page: the
Basic Query and the Advanced Query. The default alarm query is Basic Query. The two query
methods can be toggled by clicking the active link on the upper right corner of the Alarm Query
box. If the link to the right is Basic Query, then you are in the Advanced Query mode already. In
either query mode, you can save a query criteria combination by clicking on
the upper right corner of the All Alarm page. You can reuse this query criteria combination later
by clicking to the left of the tabular navigation system.
