How do I configure historical alarm list settings?

Purpose

Configure logging and overflow settings for the historical alarm list. These settings apply to NSP, WS-NOC and MDM alarms. NFM-P alarm settings are configured in NFM-P; see the NFM-P Administrator Guide.

You must have administrator privileges to configure alarm settings.

Note: Time display settings (for example, whether to use 24-hour time) are based on your browser settings and are not configured in the NSP. See your browser documentation for information about configuring how time is displayed.
