"Alarm Action" displays
Each type of alarm action has its own configuration display.
Common alarm action settings
All alarm action types share a name field, severity selections, and an "Alarm Action
Scheduling" display.
Alarm action severity settings
Every alarm action type allows you to select up to five severities. The alarm action will only
trigger when used in a notification policy that is tied to an alarm threshold with a matching
severity.
In the following example, User1 will only receive an sms message if a critical severity
threshold is violated.
• An alarm action named "send_user1_sms” is created, and defined to send User1 an
SMS e-mail for critical events only.
• The “send_user1_sms” action is added to a notification policy called “sms messaging.”
• The "sms messaging" notification policy includes various thresholds and device
alarms. The alarms are of varying severity - some are set for critical, and some are
set for warning. If an alarm occurs, User1 will only receive an SMS message for those
thresholds and device alarms defined as critical.
You must select at least one severity.
