Alarms List

You can create event rules that request users to acknowledge certain alerts, and resend alert notifications if the acknowledgment action is not taken yet. See Creating Actions.

If any of these alerts has not been acknowledged since its occurrence, the Alarms section on the dashboard shows this alert until it is acknowledged. All alerts on the Alarms section are highlighted in red.

Below is the illustration of the alarms list.

More Alerts
