Viewing Device Alarms

When a device is faulty or works abnormally due to certain reasons, Huawei HiLens generates alarms based on the faults of different modules. You can view the device's hardware alarm information on the HiLens console and handle the alarm on the device.

Huawei HiLens can also monitor services. You can configure alarm receiving settings. When skills on a device cannot run properly, Huawei HiLens sends service alarms to you in real time.

  • The alarm function is available only on devices whose firmware version is 1.0.7 or later. The alarm notification function is available only on devices whose firmware version is 1.1.0 or later. For details about how to upgrade the firmware, see Upgrading HiLens_Device_Agent Firmware.
  • The alarm information of a device can be synchronized to the Huawei HiLens console only when the device is Online.

Alarm Severity

  • Minor

    A minor alarm has a minor impact on the system, but you need to take corrective actions as soon as possible to prevent a more severe alarm.

  • Major

    A major alarm has a major impact on the system. It affects the normal operating of the system or may cause service interruption.

  • Critical

    A critical alarm may power off the device, and even interrupt system services. You must take corrective actions immediately.
