6.7.6 Deleting an alarm

To delete an individual alarm, you can use the jpctool alarm delete command.

Log on to the host where PFM - Manager is installed.
Execute the jpctool alarm list command to view the name of the alarm table containing the definition you want to delete.

For example, execute the following command when you want to view the alarm table names defined in the PFM - Agent for Platform (UNIX):
```
jpctool alarm list -key UNIX
```
The output is shown below. In this example, you can see that the monitoring template and the alarm table alarmtable1 are defined.
```
Product ID:U
Alarm Table Name:
  alarmtable1
  PFM UNIX Solution Alarms 6.70
  PFM UNIX Solution Alarms 7.00
```
For further details on the jpctool alarm list command, see the chapter that describes the command in the manual JP1/Performance Management Reference.
Execute the jpctool alarm list command to view the name of the alarm to delete.

For example, execute the following command when you want to view the alarm names defined in the alarm table named alarmtable1 of the PFM - Agent for Platform (UNIX):
