Threshold Alarm Configuration view

This view in the Alarm Configuration perspective shows user-created threshold alarms, and communication link status alarms, and that can be configured for the device groups and devices selected in the Navigation view. You can select a device group or device in the Navigation view to display the thresholds in the Threshold Alarm Configuration view that can be configured or added to a notification policy for that selection. The number of thresholds associated with each device group or device is shown next to the threshold type or threshold, in parentheses. You can use the Search fields to filter the list based on text you enter in the Navigation or Threshold Alarm Configuration views; only items that contain the text you type are listed. When the results of a search are displayed, the background of the search field is shaded. When you clear the search field, the background shading is removed and all items are displayed. Note: You can hold the Ctrl key down to select multiple items. You can use the right-click options and the button icons at the top of the view to do the following: Edit the thresholds for the device group or device selected (Edit Thresholds option). Remove one or more thresholds from the list (Delete Thresholds option). Create a new notification policy and add one or more thresholds for the selected device group or device (Add Thresholds to New Notification Policy option). Add one or more thresholds for the selected device group or device to an existing notification policy (Add Thresholds to Notification Policy option). Remove one or more thresholds from a notification policy for the selected device group or device (Remove Thresholds from Notification Policy option). Show the notification policy to which a threshold is assigned (Show Notification Policy option). Locate a device in the navigation tree from the thresholds list (Find Device in Navigation Tree option). Access the "Configure Columns" display to select the attribute columns that appear in the list (Configure Columns icon. 92307474_360039289853.png Enable filters that hide various threshold types and attributes.

    Modifying thresholds in the Alarm Configuration perspective In the Alarm Configuration perspective, select a device group, device, or threshold, right-click to select Edit Thresholds, and select the threshold type you want to modify from those defined for the selection. Note If you selected Other Numeric Sensors or Other State Sensors to modify multiple thresholds simultaneously, the unit of measure for all selected thresholds must be the same. In the "Edit Thresholds" display, define the threshold settings, and click OK.  

All thresholds use the same basic procedure and displays to modify threshold settings. Note The same displays are used to modify the threshold settings regardless of whether you select: Edit Threshold, a right-click option in the Alarm Configuration perspective. Edit Alarm Configuration, a right-click option in the Active Alarms view in the Monitoring perspective. Modifying thresholds in the Active Alarms view Modifying thresholds in the Active Alarms view In the Active Alarms view in the Monitoring perspective, select an alarm, and right-click to select Edit Alarm Configuration. Select This Instance to modify the threshold on the device reporting the selected alarm only, or select All Instances to simultaneously modify the threshold on every device on which it is defined, regardless of whether those devices are currently reporting an alarm. Click OK.

    Delete Thresholds option This option allows you to delete thresholds for any sensor on any device. You select a device group or device in the Navigation view of the Alarm Configuration perspective to view the thresholds for that selection in the Threshold Alarms Configuration view. You can then select any thresholds, with the exception of communication link status thresholds, and delete them from the thresholds list. The thresholds will also be deleted from any notification policy to which they were added. Note You can filter the list to view only certain thresholds (Filter Thresholds icon). You access the Delete Thresholds option from the right-click menu in the Threshold Alarms Configuration view. When one threshold is selected, only that threshold is deleted. When multiple thresholds are selected, they are deleted simultaneously. Note Only user-created alarm thresholds can be deleted. Communication link status thresholds are never deleted, regardless of whether they are included in the selection.
