View Console

The View Console page gives you a quick view of monitoring health, highlighting the alarms and items you need to work on first. Alarm icons display the current alarm status. By default:

  • A machine with any open alarms displays a red monitoring icon .
  • A machine with no open alarms displays a green monitoring icon
  • A machine with no open alarms but with a trending alarm displays an orange monitoring icon .

You can put each monitoring pane in its own browser window and customize the window position. Customize the console display using the Layout Console function page.

Alarm Status

Displays all alarms for all machine IDs matching the current machine ID / group ID filter. The display lists the most recent alarms first. By default, alarms generated within the last 24 hours are highlighted in red. Alarms generated within the last week are highlighted in yellow. The color coding lets you quickly distinguish alarms you may not have examined yet. The color coding is customizable using Layout Console.

Each alarm contains:

  • A link to Close an alarm or Open an alarm.
  • A link to create or display a Ticket associated with the alarm.
  • A monitoring log icon to display the monitoring log for a single alarm for that machine ID, if applicable.
  • An expand icon to display alarm information.

Group Alarm Status

Summarizes the alarm status of all group IDs, using the current machine ID / group ID filter.

  • Click the Group ID link to display the alarm status of all machine IDs and SNMP device IDs included in that group ID.
  • Click the Machine ID/SNMP Device ID link to display a Monitor Set Status window for the machine ID and any SNMP devices linked to it.

    Note: User defined group alarm column names are maintained using the Monitor Lists page. Group alarm column names are assigned to monitor sets using Define Monitor Set
