Filtering the Alarm Log Display

You can filter the list of alarms to view only a subset of alarms that are of particular interest—only
alarms from a specific device, or a specific type of alarm, for example. The default filter displays the last
300 alarms from the EPICenter database (unless you had a device selected in the previous applet when
you opened the Alarm Browser, in which case the display will be filtered for alarms on the selected
device). There are three other predefined display filters based on time: "7 days ago," Last 24 hours,"
and "Yesterday." You can also create display filters to view any subset of alarms that you wish.
If you have selected a device in another applet when you open the Alarm Browser, or if you invoke the
Alarm Browser from the Devices sub-menu of a right-click menu, the default filter is set for the IP
address of device that was selected. You can save that filter for later re-used, if you wish.
You can also create your own filters based on a variety or combination of criteria such as Source IP,
Severity, Alarm Name, LogID, and a number of others. Your filter can combine multiple criteria.
