Alarm browser fundamentals
System elements that are operating can raise and clear alarms. After a fault occurs,
the managed element generates an alarm and sends it to the System Manager
component. Use the System Management Console alarm browser to view alarms.
After an alarm occurs, it is added to a list of active alarms. The alarm remains on
the active list until it is resolved. After you resolve the problem, the alarm clears
and disappears from the list of active alarms. For alarm information displayed in
the browser, see the section “Alarm information displayed in the browser” on
page 82.
The alarm browser has two main areas: the Alarm Display and Alarm Details area.
The Alarm Display area shows a list of all current active alarms and their details.
The Alarm Details area displays text describing a single alarm that is selected in
the display. The System Management Console displays all logs and alarms in
MCP format.
