Alarm States

The operator may change the state of an alarm or add a comment by using the toolbar. These and other options are available by right-clicking the alarm and choosing the option from the menu. These options are also available in the alarm detail window. Alternatively, alarms can be cleared by pressing delete.

Alarm States

An alarm may be in one of several states:

Active

The alarm is new, unacknowledged, and unresolved. Appears blinking red.

Acknowledged

Operator is aware of the alarm, though it remains unresolved. Appears solid orange.

Cleared

Alarm has been acknowledged and resolved. Appears appear solid green.

Note: The default filter in the Alarms module hides cleared alarms, so these are generally unseen.
