4.3 Making settings
In the General Settings screen you can define general settings for alarm handling.
You can define the actions to be executed by default and regardless of the alarm
groups whenever an alarm arrives.
You can define the following actions:
– Alarms relating to failed authentication are suppressed.
– Alarms from server blades are issued with the relevant name of the blade
server.
For different error severities you can specify the following actions. Any
combinations are possible.
– The alarm is to be written to the operating system event-log list.
When you receive alarms with the checked severities, the alarms are
logged in the operating system event log.
– When you receive alarms with the checked severities, a pop-up
notification for each alarm is displayed on the management server.
– The Alarm Monitor window is to move to the foreground.
Every time you receive an alarm with the checked severities, the
AlarmMonitor window is displayed on top of any open windows. For this
to happen, the AlarmMonitor window must be open already.
You can specify when the alarm is to be deleted. You can define whether the
alarm is to be deleted when it reaches a certain age or when the log list contains
a certain number of entries. Once a certain number of entries is reached, the
oldest one in the list is deleted.
Clicking the Apply button saves the new settings. Clicking the Reset button
restores the settings from the last save.
I With general settings, event logs are recorded independently from Alarm
Rules. Depending on the configuration, two event logs may be recorded
for the same alarm.
