Viewing active alarms

Active alarms are displayed in a scrollable, optionally filterable table. By default, the active alarms are sorted by time stamp with the most recent alarm at the top.

Use this procedure to view active alarms.

Note: The alarms and events that appear in View Active vary depending on whether you are logged in to an NOAMP or SOAM. Alarm collection is handled solely by NOAMP servers in systems that do not support SOAMs.

Select Alarms & Events > View Active.
The View Active page appears.
If necessary, specify filter criteria and click Go.
The active alarms are displayed according to the specified criteria.
The active alarms table updates automatically. When new alarms are generated, the table is automatically updated, and the view returns to the top row of the table.
To suspend automatic updates, click any row in the table.
The following message appears: (Alarm updates are suspended.)
If a new alarm is generated while automatic updates are suspended, a new message appears: (Alarm updates are suspended. Available updates pending.)

To resume automatic updates, press and hold Ctrl as you click to deselect the selected row.
