Name Value Description
Alarm Enable true (default), false Enabled (by default), when true, each weather advisory results in an alarm, routed using the Alarm Properties below. Note this differs from alarm setup in the “AdvisoriesAlarmExt”, where an “Urgency” property existed, configurable to a “lower” urgency level (“Future”, “Past”, or “Unknown”).

If set to false, alarming does not occur from weather advisories. However, dynamic modeling of weather advisories using Advisory components does continue (in the case of a NwsWeatherProvider, the Enabled property of its AdvisoriesAlarmExt must be true).

Alarm Properties

Name Value Description
Alarm Class Default Alarm Class (default) Often, you create one or more alarm classes expressly for weather-related alarms, and specify one here.
Source Name %parent.parent.parent.provider% Specifies the sourceName seen in an alarm record, where the default value results in the name of the parent WeatherReport (locale).
