6.
In the Alarms table, select an alarm record and configure threshold, number of occurrences, alarm
notification settings, and enable alarms on the components.
For a new component record, the following default values are displayed in the Alarms table:
• Selected XP or XP7 disk array name under Array
• Selected component under Resource
• Selected metric category under Metric Category
• Selected metric under Metric
• 999999 under Threshold
• The destination email and SNMP addresses configured on the PA Settings screen. If not
configured, the Email Destination and SNMP Destination fields are shown blank.
After you enable alarms on components, PA does the following:
1. Collects the latest performance values of components in every collection frequency cycle and
compares them with the set threshold levels.
2. PA dispatches the appropriate alarm notifications, only when the performance value of a component
has exceeded threshold for the performance cycles set as occurrence.
For example, while configuring the alarm if the user sets occurrence value as 2 for a component, PA
dispatches a notification only when the performance value of the metric remains above threshold for
two consecutive performance cycles. But any drop in performance value below the threshold post a
serious alarm will be immediately notified to the user.
PA also displays the appropriate time for the above-mentioned events under Time Posted, Time
Updated, and Time Dispatched in the Alarm History table. Logs a record for those components in the
Alarm History table. PA starts logging records from the subsequent data collection cycle when it starts
monitoring the selected components.
