Alarm Status Indicator

When logged in to IDIH, either directly or from DSR launch, the portal header displays a count of current alarms, as shown in Figure 3-1. The alarm status indicator is a count of the highest severity of all open alarms and the alarm status indicator (circle) is the color (user defined, idihadmin) of the highest severity. For example, if there are zero critical, two major, one minor, and three warnings, then the alarm status indicator contains 2+ and the color is the user-defined color for major severity. The + is used to indicate that there are additional alarms at a lesser severity. The + does not appear if, for example, there are zero critical, two major, zero minor, and zero warnings.

Initially, the alarm status is empty (non-visible). Then, after a short interval, the system queries for open alarms and updates the alarm status indicator. After the first update, the system updates the alarm status indicator every 30 seconds.

Selecting the alarm status indicator shows a brief description of the open alarms. The system displays the list of open alarms in tabular form, as shown in Figure 3-2. This list can be dismissed by pressing the Close on the Open Alarm dialog window.

Note:

Only open alarms may be viewed. No other actions are provided such as clear or acknowledge.
