Filtering the list of active alarms

By default, all active alarms display in the Alarm Dashboard. Configure the Filter options to limit the display of the active alarms to alarms that meet a specific criteria.

The Filter options (or criteria) available to limit the display of active alarms include:

Alarm Name - Use this option to display only active alarms that have a specific alarm name and number.
Component Name - Use this option to display only active alarms triggered by specific server role Entity that contains a logical, predefined set of components (system software or certified third-party software) deployed in the Data Center and Site Zones that provide specific functionality for the system. components.
Priority - Use this option to display only active alarms of specific priorities.
Installations - Use this option to display only active alarms that are associated with a particular node (site group, site, or server) of the Installations tree.
Desktop - Use this option to display only active alarms raised by remote desktops.

How the filter options work

Each of the filter option works as follows:

If a filter option is not configured (that is, it is left blank, or no check box is selected), all alarms of that criterion display in the dashboard Suite-wide unified dashboard that provides a single, quick view of valuable information across multiple applications..

The exception is the Show Desktop Alarms option of the Desktop filter. When this option is not selected, no desktop alarms display in the dashboard. Only server alarms display in the dashboard. When this option is selected, only desktop alarms display in the dashboard, and server alarms do not display.

For example, assume the Alarm Name option is left blank. In this case, the alarm names of all active alarms that meet the criteria specified in the other filter options display in the dashboard.

By default, none of the filter options are configured, and all active alarms in the enterprise display in the dashboard.
If a filter option is configured (that is, at least one of its criteria is selected), only alarms of the selected criteria display in the dashboard.

For example, if you select one specific Component Name, only the active alarms triggered by the selected component display in the dashboard.

When you configure Filter options, the combined configuration of all four filter options determines the alarms that display in the dashboard.

For example, assume that you select only one server node in the Installations filter option, and only Major in the Priority option. But, you do not select any values for either Alarm Name or Component Name options.

With this configuration, only the active alarms on the selected server that are of the Major priority display in the dashboard. All alarm names and all component names associated with these active alarms display.

Any active alarms in the enterprise that do not meet the combined criteria of all four filter options do not display in the dashboard.
