Viewing Active Alarms
You can view current (active) alarms in the Web interface that have been raised by the device. If an alarm is cleared, it is moved into the History Alarms table (see Viewing History Alarms). The alarms are displayed from newest to oldest. In other words, the most recently raised alarm is shown first in the list. The table is automatically refreshed every 60 seconds.
If the device is in High Availability (HA) mode, the table also displays alarms raised by the Redundant device. These alarms are shown in the 'Source' field with the alarm source varbind prefix, "Redundant" (e.g., "Redundant#1/EthernetLink#7"). Alarms raised by the Active device are shown without this source varbind prefix (e.g., Board#1/EthernetLink#7).
| ● | The alarms in the table are deleted upon a device restart. |
| ● | If the device is in HA mode, the Redundant device's alarms in the table are deleted upon an HA switchover or if the device changes from HA to a Standalone device. |
| ● | To configure the maximum number of active alarms that can be displayed in the table, see the ini file parameter, ActiveAlarmTableMaxSize. |
| ● | The alarm bell icon, located on the top-right of the Web interface's window, displays the number of currently active alarms raised by the device and the highest severity (color coded - see below) of these alarms. |
| ● | For more information, refer to the SBC-Gateway Series SNMP Alarm Reference Guide. |
| ➢ | To view active alarms: |
| 1. | Open the Active Alarms table: |
| ● | Navigation tree: Monitor menu > Monitor tab > Summary folder > Active Alarms. |
| ● | Monitor home page: Click the "Alarms" area on the graphical display of the device (see Viewing Device Status on Monitor Page). |
| ● | Alarm bell  icon (located in the top-right area of the Web interface) |
