23.5.3 Alarm Profile Editing
Table 23-6 lists and describes the five profile-editing options available when you right-click an alarm
item in the profile column (such as Default).
23.5.4 Alarm Severity Options
To change or assign alarm severity, left-click the alarm severity you want to change in the alarm profile
column. Seven severity levels appear for the alarm:
• Not Reported (NR)
• Not Alarmed (NA)
• Minor (MN)
• Major (MJ)
• Critical (CR)
• Use Default
• Inherited
Inherited and Use Default severity levels only appear in alarm profiles. They do not appear when you
view alarms, history, or conditions.
23.5.5 Row Display Options
In the network or node view, the Alarm Profiles window (Alarm Profile Editor for Node view) displays
three check boxes at the bottom of the window:
• Only show service-affecting severities—If unchecked, the editor shows severities in the format
sev1/sev2 where sev1 is a service-affecting severity and sev2 is not service-affecting. If checked, the
editor only shows sev1 alarms.
• Hide reference values—Highlights alarms with nondefault severities by clearing alarm cells with
default severities.
• Hide identical rows—Hides rows of alarms that contain the same severity for each profile.
