6.4.1 Creating an alarm table

To create a new alarm table:

  1. Log on to PFM - Web Console from the browser of the monitoring console.
    The main window appears.
    You must log on as a user with administrator user permissions.

  2. In the navigation frame of the main window, select the Alarms tab.
    The Alarms window appears.

  3. In the navigation frame, select the folder of the monitoring agent to create an alarm table.
    The selected folder is marked with a checkmark.
    Alarm tables cannot be created under the Alarms folder that is on the first level of the Alarms tree. Alarm tables are created under the Agent folder that is on the second level of the Agent tree.

  4. In the method frame, select the New Alarm Table.
    In the information frame, the New Alarm Table > Main Information window appears.

  5. In the General Settings area, select a product (data model), and enter the alarm table name.
    In this step, you can create a new alarm in the newly created alarm table by setting the basic information such as the alarm name. For details on how to create alarms, see 6.4.2 Creating an alarm (setting the basic information).

    Alarm table name
    You can use up to 64 bytes of alphanumeric characters, spaces, and the following symbols: % - ( ) _ . / @ []
    For example, in PFM - Agent for Platform (Windows) for the inventory management system, when you want to create an alarm table with the data model version 6.0, you can specify the following settings:
    Product: Windows(6.0)
    Alarm table name: Inventory Control System(Win)

Note: Version of the data model to select in Product
Select the appropriate data model version corresponding to the agent to which you want to bind the alarm table. If two or more agents of the same type exist and each uses a different data model version, we recommend that you select the earliest data model version.
To check the data model version of an agent:
  1. From the Agents tree in the navigation frame, click the agent whose report you want to display.
  2. In the method frame, click Properties. The Service Properties window appears.
  3. In the Service Properties window, click the agent. The data model version appears at the bottom of the information frame.
