A user can acknowledge the alarm state of one or more monitors to notify other users that the alarms are being investigated. When acknowledging an alarm, the user has two choices:
Clear alarm status
- This clears the alarm state and returns the monitor to its Ok state.Deactivate the monitors
- This deactivates the monitors, with a checkbox to automatically reactivate the monitors after N minutes. If the reactivate checkbox is unchecked, the monitors stays deactivated until being manually activated.
Acknowledge Notification Format
The format of the acknowledge notification message is not inherited down the monitor tree. Instead, the default notification format is specified using the Network Monitor Settings > SMS > Default messages tab and applies to all nodes.
Note: The Format Variables topic lists the format variables you can include in an acknowledgment notification message.
