3 Refer to the Alarm Details and Alarm Message for the following information:
Index
Displays the unique numerical identifier for trap events (alarms)
generated in the system. Use the index to help differentiate an alarm
from others with similar attributes.
Status
Displays the current state of the requests made from the applet. Requests
are any “SET/GET” operation from the applet. The Status displays error
messages if something goes wrong in the transaction between the applet
and the controller.
Time Stamp
Displays the date, year and time the alarm was raised (as well as the
time zone of the system). The time stamp only states the time the alarm
was generated, not the time it was acknowledged.
Severity
Displays the severity level of the event. Use this (non numerical and
verbal) description to assess the criticality of the alarms. Severity levels
include:
• Critical
• Major
• Warning
• Informational
• Normal
Module Name
Displays the module name that triggered this alarm. Use this information
to assess if this alarm is a recurring problem or if it is an isolated
incident.
Type
Displays the alarm type.
Message
Displays a detailed event message corresponding to the alarm event. It
contains an event specific message for information about the alarm. Use
this value along with the Details description for optimal problem event
identification.
