14.5.3 Alarm Profile Editing
Table 14-8 lists and describes the five profile-editing options available when you right-click an alarm
item in the profile column.
14.5.4 Alarm Severity Options
To change or assign alarm severity, left-click the alarm severity you want to change in the alarm profile
column. Seven severity levels appear for the alarm:
• Not Reported (NR)
• Not Alarmed (NA)
• Minor (MN)
• Major (MJ)
• Critical (CR)
• Use Default
• Inherited
Inherited and Use Default severity levels only appear in alarm profiles. They do not appear when you
view alarms, history, or conditions.
14.5.5 Row Display Options
The Alarm Profiles window (from network view) or the Alarm Profile Editor (from node view) displays
three check boxes at the bottom of the window:
• Only show service-affecting severities—If unchecked, the editor shows severities in the format
<sev1>/<sev2> where <sev1> is a service-affecting severity and <sev2> is not service-affecting. If
checked, the editor only shows <sev1> alarms.
• Hide reference values—Highlights alarms with non-default severities by clearing alarm cells with
default severities. This check-box is normally greyed out. It becomes active only when more than
one profile is listed in the Alarm Profile Editor window. (The check box text changes to “Hide
Values matching profile Default” in this case.
• Hide identical rows—Hides rows of alarms that contain the same severity for each profile.
