Chapter 11 Alarm Monitoring and Management

11.3.3 Alarm Profile Editing

Table 11-9describes the five profile-editing options available when you right-click an alarm item in the profile column (such as Default).

Table 11-9	Alarm Profile Editing Options

Button	Description

Store	Saves a profile in a node or in a file.

Rename	Changes a profile name.

Clone	Creates a new profile that contains the same alarm severity settings as the profile
	being cloned.

Reset	Restores a profile to its previous state or to the original state (if it has not yet been
	applied).

Remove	Removes a profile from the table editor.

11.3.4 Alarm Severity Option

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

•Transient (T)

Transient and Use Default severity levels only appear in alarm profiles. They do not appear when you view alarms, history, or conditions.

11.3.5 Row Display Options

In the network view, the Alarm Profiles window has two check boxes at the bottom of the window:

•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.

11.3.6Alarm Profile Applications

In CTC node view, the Provisioning > Alarm Profiles > Alarm Profile Editor window displays alarm profiles for the node, and in card view this windows displays the alarm profiles for the selected card.
