Change the Priority assigned to an alarm

By default, each alarm has an alarm priority assigned to it. You can change the alarm priority that is assigned to an alarm.

If you create a new alarm priority, use this procedure to assign the new priority to one or more alarms.

If you manually edit an alarm priority, and the alarm priority changes as part of either a KB, update release, or other new release, the manually edited priority resets to the new default value.

Procedure

Choose System Monitoring > System Monitor > Alarm Settings.
In the Installations tree (left pane), select the Installations tree node from which you want to assign priorities to alarms (Enterprise, Site Group, Site, or Server).
In the Configure Alarms screen, select the alarms for which you want to change the priority assignment.
- To select a single alarm, click that alarm.
- To select multiple alarms, do one of the following:
  - Hold down the Ctrl key and click multiple alarms.
  - Click Select All to select all alarms on the currently displayed page of alarms. (Alarms not visible on the currently displayed page are not selected.)
Click Edit.
In the Priority Name drop-down box, select the priority you want to assign to the alarms.
Click the Save, Save and Apply to Children, or a Revert option as appropriate.
