Alarm Definitions

Cisco CRS maintains a list of alarm catalogs. Each of these catalogs contains a list of alarms. Each alarm contains a definition of the alarm, which includes the alarm name, a description, an explanation, recommended actions, and related information.

An alarm name appears in an alarm message as follows:

•Trace file—Alarm name follows the severity level.

•CiscoWorks RME—Alarm name appears in the Mnemonic field on the Syslog WorkFlow report.

•Third-party Syslog server—Alarm name follows the reason. If a reason is not shown the alarm message name follows the module name.

•Windows Event Viewer—Alarm name follows the severity level.

Finding Information About an Alarm

To use the alarm catalog to find information about an alarm message name, follow these steps:

Step 1 From the Cisco CRS Administration menu, choose Tools > Alarm Definition.

The Alarm Definitions web page appears.
