11.4 Alarm Filter

Alarm display can be filtered to keep particular alarm severities, or alarms that occur between certain
dates, from appearing in the Alarms window
the filter by clicking Filter at the bottom-left of the Alarms window. You can turn the filter on or off by
clicking the Filter icon button at the bottom-right of the window. CTC retains your filter activation
setting. For example, if you turn the filter on and then log out, CTC makes the filter active the next time
your user ID is activated.

11.5 Alarm Suppression

The ONS 15600 has suppression options that prevent node, slot, chassis, or port alarms from appearing
in the Alarms window. Suppression changes the entity alarm to Not Reported, so suppressed alarms are
shown in the Conditions window. The suppressed alarms are shown with their other visual
characteristics (service-affecting status and color-coding) in the window. These alarms do not appear in
the History window or in any other clients.
In node view, you can suppress all alarms for a node, one or more card slots, fan slots, objects that are
not cards such as the chassis, or the customer access panel (CAP). In the card view, you can suppress
alarms on a port-by-port basis. All alarms for the entity are suppressed. For example, if you click the
Provisioning > Alarm Profiles > Alarm Behavior tab Suppress Alarms check box in node view, all node
alarms appear in the Conditions window rather than the Alarms window. If you suppress alarms for one
or more slots or ports, alarms for those entities appear in the Conditions window.
