Alarm Policy settingsΒΆ
Individual Alarm Policy settings allow granular customization of what, when, and how Alarms and Events are reported.
The following settings can be accessed from the Admin > Alarm Monitor > Alarm Policies view:
- Status
Sets the Alarm Policy to one of three states:
Setting
Generates Events
Alarm Monitor
Stored in Database
Notifications by Profile(s)
Active
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
Store
Yes
No

Inactive
No
No
No
No
- Weight
Assigns each Event generated by the Alarm Policy a numerical weight that is used to calculate the severity reported in the Alarm Monitor views
- Event timeout
Sets the number of seconds the system will wait when aggregating observations meeting the same criteria as a single Event
Hint
Setting nonessential Alarm Policies to Store or Inactive can filter out Events that do not require visibility. This can reduce the number of Alarms being reported (and stored) in the Alarm Monitor views.
