Alerts in Cisco PVM

Cisco PVM generates alerts in various circumstances and these alerts can be viewed in the Alert Viewer. The Alert Viewer can be accessed by clicking on the Alerts Tab. By default, any alerts over last hour are displayed. You can change the time period and view alerts over that time period.

Alerts in Cisco PVM are color coded. For example, if there is a Critical severity alert, Cisco PVM displays a red icon next to the alert. Major, Minor and Warning severity alerts are coded with Orange, Yellow and Cyan icons. For a complete list of severity levels and color codes, see the Cisco PVM User Guide.

Cisco PVM displays alerts of three types:

NAM Alarms – These are alarms that are gathered by Cisco PVM from the NAMs it is monitoring.

Threshold Violations – These alarms are generated by Cisco PVM based on threshold violations within Cisco PVM.

System Events – These are alerts displayed from the system health monitoring processes in Cisco PVM, and include server error condition notifications in Cisco PVM.
