Alarm Manager
The Alarm Manager enables you to manage the collection and storage of alarm
information. The Alarm Manager allows you to set different collection parameters
for the Alarm Database. You can use the Alarm Manager to enable or disable the
sending of all or some types of SNMP traps. The Alarm Manager provides the
Alarm Backup Batch Job, an application which backs up old alarm records to an
archive folder at a scheduled time.
Enterprise Edge provides real-time information about what is occurring within the
Enterprise Edge system through the Alarm Banner and the Alarm Browser.
The Enterprise Edge alarm system includes the following components:
• Alarm Banner: The Alarm Banner provides a window which allows you to
continually monitor the Enterprise Edge system for alarms. For more
information, see Fault Alarm Banner on page 308.
• Alarm Browser: The Alarm Browser allows you to browse through a list of
alarms and provides detailed information on each one. For more information,
see Alarm Browser on page 308.
