Among other features, the Event Manager enables you to set thresholds for certain system parameters and to monitor any supported Cisco 12000/10720 Router Manager MIB variables.

Viewing Alarms
Alarms can be viewed using the Event Browser application that is part of the Cisco EMF.
Event Browser can be launched in two ways:
•Click the Events icon in the Launchpad to launch the Event Browser application. The Event Browser window appears.
Event Browser allows you to view all alarms on all objects. The Query Editor window appears automatically when you launch the Event Browser application. The Query Editor allows you to set up a query (or filter) that allows you to filter all the alarms available and display only the alarms matching the query criteria you selected.
When the event browser is launched against an object, by default, all the alarms against that object and its descendents are displayed in the event browser. For e.g., if the event browser is launched against a chassis, then by default it displays all the alarms against the chassis and the module and interfaces objects available in that chassis. Refer to the Cisco Element Management Framework User Guide for further details on using the Event Browser.
•To view a specific alarm on one object, open the Map Viewer application (Viewer),
Note The maximum number of cleared alarms stored against an object is 300. When this value is reached, the cleared alarms are deleted until there are only 150 alarms left against the object.
