3.7 Viewing the Switch Alarm Log
Use the Alarm Log screen as an initial snapshot for alarm log information. Expand alarms (as needed)
for greater detail, delete alarms, acknowledge alarms, or export alarm data to a user-specified location
for archive and network performance analysis.
To view switch alarm log information:
1. Select Switch > Alarm Log from the main menu tree.
2. Use the Alarm Log screen’s filtering options to view alarm log data by page or by its entire content.
3. Select either of the two available options to view alarm log information:
4. Refer to the table within the Alarm Log screen for the following information:
View By Page Select the View By Page radio button to view alarm log information on a per
page basis. Use the View By Page option to page through alarm logs. If there are
a large number of alarms, the user can navigate to the page that has been
completely loaded. All operations can be performed on the currently loaded data.
Enter a page number next to “Page” and click the
Go button to move to the
specific page.
View All Select the View All radio button to display the complete alarm log within the
table. If there are a large number of alarms, the View All option will take several
minutes to load.
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 switch.
