To prevent the diagnostics buffer being "swamped" by large numbers of identical security
events, you can set parameters so that these events are entered in the diagnostics buffer as
a group alarm. For every interval (monitoring time), the CPU then only generates one group
alarm per event type.
Configuring a group alarm for security events
To configure group alarms for security events, follow these steps:
1. Click on the CPU icon in the network view.
The properties of the CPU are displayed in the Inspector window.
2. Navigate to the "Protection" > "Security event" area.
3. Click "Security event".
4. Select the option "Summarize security events in case of high message volume" to enable
group alarms for security events.
5. Set the duration of an interval (monitoring period); the default is 20 seconds.
