How do I filter alarms for XML API clients using the NFM-P GUI?
Overview
You can use a GUI client to configure an alarm filter for XML API clients. See How do I configure alarm filters for XML API clients? and the NSP NFM-P XML API Developer Guide.
Consider the following:
-
When a user logs in to the NFM-P GUI, filters that were created for XML API applications are not applied to GUI alarms.
-
Filters that are applied using the NFM-P GUI apply only to the fault (5620-SAM-topic-xml-fault) and filter (5620-SAM-topic-xml-filtered) JMS topics.
-
When the NFM-P GUI is used to apply or remove a filter, you do not need to disconnect or reconnect an XML API session.
-
When a filter is defined and enabled, and the client does not have an XML API connection, the filter is applied when the XML API client connects.
-
When a filter is defined and enabled, and the user has one or more XML API connections, the filter is applied to all of the user XML API connections.
-
When an alarm filter is in use with an XML API session and an NFM-P operator changes the contents of the filter, the NFM-P user is informed that the filter is in use and who is using the filter. The NFM-P user is prompted with the option to save the change or cancel the change.
-
Alarm filters that are applied to XML API sessions appear in the Sessions tab on the NFM-P User Security-Security Management form.
