Alarm Configuration

Alarm Jobs

To manage alarms and notifications effectively, the system uses scheduled jobs. The following jobs are important:

  • SCMonitoringCreateAlarmJob: This job runs at specified intervals (e.g., every hour) to create alarms based on the collected diagnostics data. It checks if any thresholds have been exceeded and creates alarms accordingly.
  • SCMonitoringDeleteAlarmJob: Deletes all the instances previously.
  • SCMonitoringEmailNotificationJob (New Job): This job consolidates the alarms and sends email notifications at specified intervals (e.g., every two hours). This helps to reduce the number of emails sent to users and avoid spamming.

The frequency of these jobs can be configured based on user preferences. For example, the Create Alarm Job might run every hour, while the Email Notification Job might run every two hours.

An alarm can have one of the following statuses:

  • Open: The alarm condition is active (the threshold is currently exceeded).
  • Closed: The alarm condition is no longer active (the parameter has returned below the threshold).

Alarms are automatically updated based on the diagnostics data collected by the system. When a parameter returns to normal levels, the corresponding alarm is closed.

Note that the date and time displayed in alarms and emails are based on the system's time zone settings. Ensure that the system time zone is correctly configured to reflect accurate time information.
