General Actions |
Squelch |
Hides future instances of this alarm. Squelched alarms are not displayed in the Alarm List. |
Initial Severity Assignment |
Assigns the chosen severity to the alarm when it is received, overriding the severity assigned by the source. |
Auto Acknowledge |
Acknowledges the alarm when it is received. |
History |
Disables or enables historical alarm archiving for the alarm. |
Custom Text |
Applies the specified custom text to the alarm when it arrives, overwriting any custom text assigned by the source. |
Escalation Policies |
Escalation Policy |
Enable to configure an escalation policy for the alarm. An escalation policy changes the severity of the alarm when a specified threshold is crossed. |
Severity |
Specifies the severity to assign to the alarm when the threshold is crossed. |
Threshold Type |
Specifies the type of threshold to use; for example, the number of occurrences. |
Threshold Value |
The value that must be exceeded in order to trigger escalation; for example, 50 occurrences. |
Escalation Policies |
De-escalation Policy |
Enable to configure a de-escalation policy for the alarm. A de-escalation policy changes the severity of the alarm when the number of occurrences drops below a specified number. |
Severity |
Specifies the new severity to assign to the alarm when the policy is triggered. |
Threshold Value |
Specifies the number of occurrences for the de-escalation threshold. When the number of occurrences of the alarm drops below this value, the de-escalation policy is triggered. |
Alarm Debouncing |
Alarm Debouncing |
Enables debouncing for the alarm. When alarm debouncing is enabled, alarm clear events are held until the specified hold period expires instead of being processed immediately. If an alarm raise event occurs before the hold period expires, the existing debounced alarm is updated with the new occurrence and the event is processed immediately. This prevents unnecessary historical alarm logging and lowers the frequency of alarm NBI notifications for highly active (flapping) alarms. |
