Responding to an Alarm Notification

Alarm notifications come in several forms:
• An animated alarm bell icon appears at the top of the
WatchGuard Vcontroller main page.
• The red Alarm LED illuminates on the front of the
Firebox Vclass appliance.
• A notice appears in the Outstanding Alarms tab of the
Alarm Manager window.
• You receive a SNMP trap message.
• You receive an email or pager notification.
The relative severity of the alarm determines which contact
method is used. If the alarm trigger is low, you may want
to let the appliance display a notice in the Alarm Manager
window and merely add it to the Alarm log. However, if
the alarm trigger is serious, you can configure the Firebox
Vclass to add an SNMP trap or send an email notification.
In every alarm situation, the animated alarm bell appears
in the upper-right corner of the Vcontroller main page to
360 Vcontroller
