DLP- A517 View Alarm or Event History
DLP-A517 View Alarm or Event History
Step1 Decide whether you want to view the alarm message history at the node, network, or card level.
Step2 To view node alarm history:
a. Click the History > Session tabs to view the alarms and conditions (events) raised during the current
session.
b. Click the History > Shelf tabs.
If you check the Alarms check box, the node’s alarm history appears. If you check the Events check
box, the node’s Not Alarmed and transient event history appears. If you check both check boxes, you
will retrieve node history for both alarms and events.
c. Click Retrieve to view all available messages for the History > Shelf tabs.
Note Alarms can be unreported when they are filtered out of the display using the Filter button in
either tab. See the “DLP-A225 Enable Alarm Filtering” task on page19-17 for information.
Tip Double-click an alarm in the alarm table or an event (condition) message in the history table to
display the view that corresponds to the alarm message. For example, double-clicking a card
alarm takes you to card view. In network view, double-clicking a node alarm takes you to node
view.
Step3 To view network alarm history, from node view:
a. From the View menu choose Go to Network View.
b. Click the History tab.
Alarms and conditions (events) raised during the current session appear.
Step4 To view card alarm history from node view:
a. From the View menu choose Go to Previous View.
b. Double-click a card on the shelf graphic to open the card-level view.
Note TCC2/TCCP cards and cross-connect (XCVT, XC10G, or XC-VXL-10G) cards do not have a
card view.
Purpose This task is used to view past cleared and uncleared ONS 15454 alarm
messages at the card, node, or network level. This task is useful for
troubleshooting configuration, traffic, or connectivity issues that are
indicated by alarms.
