Logging and Alarms
Figure 6-33. Viewing the Alarm Log
For each alarm, the screen displays this information:
■ Index—Alarms are numbered in the order in which they were received.
■ Status—If the alarm has been acknowledged, then an administrator has
seen and presumably dealt with it.
■ Time Stamp—Among other purposes, you can view the time stamp to:
• check whether a problem is ongoing
• look for the cause of a behavior that you know occurred at a particular
time
• track patterns of activity
• determine the duration of a problem
■ Severity—Severity signals the relative threat to network functions and
security.
■ Module Name—You can use the name of the module that reported the
alarm to point you toward the cause.
■ Type —You should quickly focus on this information, as it is, in many ways,
the alarm. It indicates the type of problem or behavior.
