2. Select the monitoring agent that is to start monitoring using alarms

3. Select Bind Alarm Table.

4. In the Bind Alarm Table to Agents[Select Alarm Table] window, select the alarm table that you want to bind.

   To bind the PFM Windows Template Alarms 09.00 alarm table, select PFM Windows Template Alarms 09.00 in the Windows folder under Template Alarms.

5. Click the OK button.

   The selected alarm table is bound to the monitoring agent and the monitoring operation begins.

   Note

   In Performance Management, you can bind multiple alarm tables to a single monitoring agent. To bind multiple alarm tables, you need to enable the function for binding multiple alarm tables.
