Alarm Configuration Process

This section discusses the alarm configuration change process.

Users configure alarms from the System Monitoring, System Monitor, Alarm Settings screen.

When a user changes the alarm configuration for a server, the Enterprise Manager saves the changes to the Framework Database Server role in the Data Center (also known as BPMain) that stores user, organization and group data, including user preferences and security data (roles, permissions, and license information).. Enterprise Manager Agent Web application installed on every system server that communicates with the Enterprise Manager regarding any configuration changes or alarm messages for the relevant server. then pulls a configuration message from the managed server Server that is managed by the Enterprise Manager application.. This configuration message is handled as described in Handling of Configuration Changes by the Enterprise Manager and Enterprise Manager Agent application.

The EMA extracts the alarmconfig.xml file from the configuration message and writes it to the install directory\conf\alarm directory on the managed server. The Alarm Service on the managed server reads the updated alarmconfig.xml file and implements the changes on the managed server.
