View active alarms

View active alarms to obtain information that you can use to take corrective actions.

You can set the Refresh Rate in the upper right corner to specify the frequency (in minutes) with which the system checks for alarms. Setting the Refresh Rate too low may affect system performance, as frequent checks will use more system resources.

Procedure 

  1. Click Alarms > View Alarms > Active Alarms.

  2. Review the following fields:

    Item

    Description

    Alarm Name

    The name of the alarm.

    Last Triggered

    The time at which the last instance of this alarm occurred.

    Alarm Summary

    A brief description of the alarm.

    Priority

    Shows the priority of the alarm.

    Count

    The number of times this alarm has been raised.

    Last Alarm Instance Details

    Provides additional details about the last instance of this alarm, which may assist in troubleshooting.

    Component

    Identifies the particular component to which this alarm relates.

  3. Select an alarm and do one of the following:

    • Click View to view the full text and any resolution suggestions.

    • Click Acknowledge to acknowledge the alarm; this will move it from this screen to the Alarms History screen.

    If an alarm is raised for a server role, and you deactivate the server role without acknowledging the alarm, the system continues to raise the alarm even after the server role is deactivated. After deactivating a server role, you must manually acknowledge all active alarms related to the server role to prevent this problem.
