Viewing Alarms

On the Alarms tab, you can query alarms from the last 180 days. You can view the alarm details, including alarm name, type, risk severity, and generation time. By applying custom filters, such as the alarm name, risk severity, and time, you can quickly query information about specific alarms.

This makes it easier to handle alarms in a timely manner, marking the alarm processing statuses or exporting all alarms in the last 180 days in a click or two.

Marking Alarm Events

You can manually mark an alarm event reported by SA.

    • Mark as Offline: If the alarm has been handled offline, click Mark as Offline in the Operation column. In the displayed dialog box, fill in Processor, Processing Time, and Processing Result, and click OK.

  2. Marks the processing status of multiple alarms once.

    Select one or more alarms in the Unhandled status and click Ignore or Mark as Offline above the alarm list to handle all selected alarms at a time.

  3. Marks the processing status of a single alarm.

    In the Operation column of the target alarm, click Ignore or Mark as Offline to handle the alarm.

    To change the processing status of an alarm, locate the target row and click Unignore or Unmark in the Operation column to restore the alarm to the Unhandled status and then re-mark the alarm processing status.
