Active alarms quick filter

The individual information in the bar stacks of the active alarm graphs can be used to further filter the alarm information in the current Server Group tab. This allows a more focused, quick look at the alarms. The quick filter selection(s) are not persistent. The quick filter settings are cleared once the user browses away from the View Active Alarms page.

Quick filter selections from the graph are applied to the grid and all graphs displayed within the current Server Group tab of the View Active Alarms page. For example, if the portion of the stacked bar graph that displays the critical alarms is selected, the grid filters to show critical platform alarms and the summary statistics are recalculated to adjust the graphs. If additional portions of the graphs are selected, both the grid and the graphs continue to be filtered according to the selections.

Note:

Although the quick filter is applied to the grid display, the quick filter criteria are not applied to generated Reports and Exports of active alarm data. Use the Filter list in the toolbar to filter the data.

Once active alarms have been graphed, use this procedure to apply a quick filter to active alarms in a server group:

1. To add a quick filter, select a portion of the stacked bar graph to filter. The stacked bar displays lists of active alarms by the alarm severity.

   Note:

   Alarm severity types are displayed using the following color distinctions:

   • Critical - Red
   • Major - Orange
   • Minor - Yellow

   Upon selection, the filtered graph portion displays green to indicate it is being used as a filter.

2. Repeat the previous step as needed to filter additional portions of the remaining bar graphs.
3. To remove all quick filtering selections from the active Server Group tab, click Clear Selections.
   The display grid and all graphs display with no quick filtering.
4. To remove individual quick filtering selections from the active Server Group tab, select the portion of the stacked bar graph that is displayed in green.
   The display grid and all graphs recalculate based on the remaining selections.
