Chapter 16 Working with Alarms and Events

App Net Manager generates alarms and events to notify you when system and configuration changes take place or if issues occur with your Corente Services network.

Alarms are notifications for changes that affect the system and require your attention. Active alarms currently affect the system. When the system detects that the issue is resolved, or no longer applies, it automatically clears the alarm. Cleared alarms display for 30 days.

Events are informational notifications about system changes that have occurred.

To work with alarms and events, you can:

  • Double-click them to view detailed information.

  • Right-click them and then select Email to forward as an email.

    Note

    You should configure default mail server (SMTP) settings in your domain preferences first.

  • Right-click the containing folders and then select Sort Alarms/Events to arrange the order in which the alarms and events display. The following options are available:

    • By Day sorts alarms and events by date and time. Select this option to view the most recent alarms and events first. This is the default option.

    • By Class sorts alarms and events by type. Select this option to view the most severe or critical alarms and events first.

    • By Code sorts alarms and events by identifier. Select this option to group similar alarms and events.

    • By Source sorts alarms and events by the object that caused them. For example, if a configuration change causes a Location to restart, that Location is the source of the alarm or event.
