Alert Archives
This documentation applies to NMS version 5.4. An online version of the software can be found here.
The Alert Archives enables you to view acknowledged and cleared alerts. You acknowledge alerts on the Alerts page and you define clear conditions for thresholds and policies to clear alerts. Alerts are messages such as threshold violations, trap notifications, or web site errors you define on the Policy Browser and the Threshold Browser.
To access to the Alert Archives from the navigation bar, click the Events menu, select Archives, and then select Alert Archive.
Acknowledged Alerts Default Display
The following appears by default when the Alert Archives initially appears.
-
The title bar displays the number of archived alerts that appear on the page and the total number of archived alerts.
-
The title bar contains the following icons to enable you to export the archived alerts you select in the list. A message appears to indicate how many archived alerts are selected when you select the check box next to each archived alert.
When you select the check box in the header row, the archived alerts on the current page display a check mark in the check box but archived alerts on other pages are not selected.
- Select the check box for the alerts to include in a .csv file and click to export the alerts you select to a .csv format.
-Select the check box for each archived alert to include in a .pdf file and click to export the archived alerts you select to a .pdf format.
- Click to add the alert archives report as an attachment in a report on a new browser tab. You can detach the entire alert archives list or you can select the check box for each archived alert to include in the report. You can modify reports to add other attachments and you can save reports to the Report Manager. Report workflows enable you to designate reports to be your favorite reports and to define one report to appear as your custom dashboard.
