Create Alarm Forwarding
An alarm forwarding will be created with the following major steps:
1. Create Destination (see “Create Destination” section)
a. Define destination for sending and receiving alarms
b. Define alarm message
c. Define acknowledgement message
d. Define ´Advanced` options
2. Create Trigger (see “Create Trigger” section)
a. Define Condition that initiates the alarm forwarding
3. Create Forwarding (see “Create Forwarding” section)
a. Define schedule for the alarm forwarding
NOTE: You must create a destination and a trigger before you can create the
alarm forwarding. By default, the triggers ´All critical alarms` and ´All
uncritical alarms` are already available.
Create Destination
1. Hover the cursor over the Configuration menu icon and click Alarming
in the configuration menu.
The Forwarding pane displays. On the Forwarding tab, the forwardings are
shown in a Forwarding List. A Forwarding consists of one or multiple
Destinations where the forwarding is directed to and a Trigger which defines
the events after which the forwarding is started, for example, after a critical
alarm has occurred, or when an alarm has not been acknowledged within a
certain time range. The forwarding can be enabled for a definable number of
days (Mon, Tue, through Sun) with a time Buffer (delayed or not delayed) and
many more criteria such as lifetime and update intervals, etc. A forwarding can
also be disabled if you do not want to forward alarms to given destinations.
2. Select the Forwarding tab and click Create new Destination button, or select
the Destination tab and click Create Destination button. The Details Destination
dialog box displays. Here you choose the destination (Email, Arena, or printer)
and enter corresponding properties. Then you can test the destination and must
save it.
