Clear.

Alarm States
DESCRIPTION
This is the initial state of an alarm, which means this alarm is new and no one has
assumed responsibility for handling it yet.
This means that one administrator has decided to respond to the cause of this
alarm. Other administrators see that person's name in their alarm screen and so
duplicate effort in solving the same problem is avoided.
After the administrator has solved the cause of the alarm, he/she can clear the
alarm. When an alarm is cleared, it is removed from the current alarm screen and
becomes an historical alarm.
