Configuring the Alarm Masking Status

Scenarios

If you do not want FusionInsight Manager to report specified alarms in the following scenarios, you can manually mask the alarms.

  • Some unimportant alarms and minor alarms need to be masked.
  • When a third-party product is integrated with FusionInsight, some alarms of the product are duplicated with the alarms of FusionInsight and need to be masked.
  • When the deployment environment is special, certain alarms may be falsely reported and need to be masked.

After an alarm is masked, new alarms with the same ID as the alarm are neither displayed on the Alarm page nor counted. The reported alarms are still displayed.

Procedure

  1. Log in to FusionInsight Manager.
  2. Choose O&M > Alarm > Masking.
  3. In the Masking area, select the specified service or module.
  4. Select an alarm from the alarm list.
