6.4.1 Creating an alarm table

  1. Log on to PFM - Web Console from the Web browser of the monitoring console.

    You must log on as a user with administrator user permissions.

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

  3. In the navigation frame of the Alarms tree, select the folder of the monitoring agent for which you want to create an alarm table.

    The selected folder is marked with a checkmark.

    You cannot create an alarm table directly under the root node in the Alarms tree. If you have enabled the separate display of alarm trees, the alarm table is created in a subfolder of User Alarms. If separate display is disabled, the alarm table is created in a subfolder of the root folder.

  4. In the method frame, select the New Alarm Table.

  5. In the General Settings area of the New Alarm Table > Main Information window displayed in the information 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 a maximum of 64 bytes of double-byte characters and single byte alphanumeric characters, spaces, and the following single-byte 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.

For details about how to check the data model version of an agent, see 3.4.6 Displaying agent properties.
