Chapter 2 Setting Up The NAM Traffic Analyzer

Alarms

Step 1 Choose Setup > Alarms > Actions.

The Alarm Action table displays any configured Alarms.

Step 2 Choose the alarm event you want to remove, and click the Delete button.

Thresholds

The NAM Traffic Analyzer will inspect incoming performance records and apply a configured set of thresholds to the most recent interval of data to detect threshold violations. You can use the NAM GUI to set up alarm thresholds for variables with values that trigger alarms.

Note You could receive two alarms for the same occurrence if both the source and the destination are in the same site.

The NAM Threshold Alarms window (Setup > Alarms > Thresholds) displays already-configured thresholds. If you hover over the arrow next to the threshold Name, as shown in Figure 2-4, a detailed view of the selected threshold will display.
