Viewing an alert in the alarm console

Alerts can generate alarms, which appear in the alarm console.

Prerequisites: An alert has been configured to display the source node.

Access the alarm console.
The alarm console opens.
The screen capture shows an alarm that was generated by an alert. The alarm console’s Source column identifies the source of the alert: FolderStation1 as a node in the Nav tree and AnalyticAlert describes what happened. The Message Text column displays any notes associated with the alert.

If the alert was defined incorrectly, the default BFormat (%node.navName%_%alert.name%) displays in the Source column instead of the alert source information.
Double-click the alarm record generated by the alert.
The Open Alarm Sources view opens.
This view filters the alarms to display only alarms generated by alerts.
To display additional information or to add your own comments, select the alarm row and click the Notes button.
