Defining Alarms - Extreme Networks EPICenter Reference Manual

The EPICenter Alarm System

Defining Alarms

For convenience, the EPICenter Alarm System provides a number of predefined alarms (see "Predefined
Alarms" on page 102). These alarms are all enabled by default, and become active immediately when
the EPICenter server starts up. The predefined alarms generate alarm log entries, but no other actions
are specified.
You can modify the predefined alarms or define your own custom alarms to report errors based on a
number of event types under conditions you specify, such as repeated occurrences or exceeding
threshold values. You can also specify the actions to be taken when an alarm occurs, such as sending e-
mail, running a program, executing a Telnet macro, or sounding an audible alert.
To view a current alarm definition, to create a new definition, or to modify an existing definition, click
the Alarm Definition tab at the top of the page. The Alarm System: Alarm Definition page is displayed,
as shown in Figure 49.
