Using CallPilot Manager to monitor hardware
The server processes events to detect hardware problems and raises alarms to notify you
when these problems occur.

Event processing

An event is any change in system configuration or operational state. An event is also any action
the system takes that requires user notification. Events can be as insignificant as a user logon
attempt or as serious as a faulty DSP switching to disabled status.
All events are reported to the fault management server, a subsystem within the Avaya CallPilot
server. The fault management server enables the server to listen and respond to clients. The
interaction is called event processing and is the means by which the server detects hardware
faults.

Alarm notification

Alarms are warnings generated by events. Alarms communicate the same information as
events. However, alarms are reported in the Alarm Monitor instead of the Event Browser and
are managed differently than events.
When an alarm appears in the Alarm Monitor, Avaya recommends that you investigate the
problem, isolate it, and then fix the problem. When you fix the problem, you can then clear the
alarm from the Alarm Monitor.
