Alarm Resolution View

[coffey64]

This may already be a feature, but I haven't found it.

It would be really cool to be able to set a default filter on the Alarms tab to only show outstanding alarms. This way you can resolve alarms instead of terminating them, keeping the comments and counts intact.

For instance, I had a server that had hit a RAM threshold. My sysadmin looked into it and made a comment on the alarm. We ended up fixing it and the alarm terminated itself. Now I can't see any of his comments on the alarm. If we had the EPP to just resolve the alarm, it would have stayed in the Alarm view and it could get jumbled very quickly.

Like I said, may already be there, but I think it would be pretty beneficial if it isn't.

We have outstanding feature request for that: https://track.radensolutions.com/issue/NX-1493. Plan to implement it soon.

Best regards,

As this has yet to be implemented as a filter option, when it does, it would be beneficial to be able to select state as well as severity - and save it as a filter.

I already have filtered containers so I can limit the Alarms to Prod and Test - and by Geo location, and by Type - so being able to quickly select filters is handy.

The current view, without filtering, is restricted to only outstanding - preventing the easily finding of terminated alarms if we need to go back and look. filtering would allow this.

And, if I was really luck, I could also do some conditional filtering based on the message contents. That way I could filter out selective messages for some, but no others.

Funny thing though - this is all available in Alarms Log - but not Alarm Tab.

If I could do the actions from the Alarm tab in the Alarms Log view - it would be fantastic!!.

NX-1493 should be expanded to allow this level of filtering.
