Viewing Alarms

Monitoring > Alarms

The Orchestrator and the appliances have separate alarm summaries and alarm tables.

n	Each table can display a maximum of 1,000 sortable alarms.

n	Each table has three views:

•	Active - all uncleared alarms. Acknowledged alarms go to the bottom of this list.

•	History - filtered to show only cleared alarms

•	All - all uncleared and cleared alarms

n	Actions you take affect all pages of an alarm table.

n	Silver Peak appliances "push" all their alarms to the Orchestrator database, which then updates the Appliance Alarms table.

n	The Orchestrator keeps alarms for 90 days.

n	Seq ID = Sequence ID = The sequential number of the alarm, based on the time the alarm was raised.
