Filter Options

Important: When you configure an individual filter option, the combined configuration of all four filter options determines the alarms that display in the dashboard.

This field lists every alarm in the enterprise in this format: alarm name (xxxxxx), where xxxxxx is the individual alarm number of the alarm.

Do either of the following to display information about the active alarm that has that alarm name in the dashboard:

• Select an alarm name from the drop-down list.

• Type either an alarm name or an alarm number in the field.

  If you type an alarm name, or an alarm number, the field searches for a matching alarm as you type each character.

If you select or type an alarm name (alarm number) in this field, click the Filter button to put the filtering change into effect.

By default, no alarm name is selected in this field.

If no alarm name is selected here, all active alarm names that meet the criteria specified by the other filter options display in the dashboard.

To display only the active alarms triggered by the selected components, select one or more component names.

Note: The term One to five words that are meaningful to a specific type of business, or phrases that stand out in interactions in Speech and Text Analytics. “components” refers to the server software components that trigger alarms on a server.

Note the following about selecting component names in this field:

• To select a component name from the drop-down list, click a component name so that it is highlighted. You can select multiple component names.

• To cancel the selection of a component name, click a highlighted component name a second time so that is no longer highlighted.

• Only component names that have active alarms are available in this option.

If you select a component name in this field, click the Filter button to put the filtering change into effect.

By default, no component name is selected in this field.

When no component name is selected in this field, the active alarms triggered by all components, and that meet the criteria specified by the other filter options, display in the dashboard.

Note: When no component name is selected, the text “Select Component Names” appears in this field.

To display only active alarms of the selected priorities in the dashboard, select one or more priorities .

For example, select Major and Warning to display only alarms of those two priorities in the Alarm Dashboard.

If you select a priority in this field, click the Filter button to put the filtering change into effect.

By default, no priority is selected in this field.

When no priority is selected here, active alarms of all priorities, that also meet the criteria specified by the other filter options, display in the dashboard. The alarms display in order of their severity (with Major priority alarms on top).

To display only the active alarms that are associated with the selected nodes in the dashboard, select one or more Installation tree nodes.

Note the following when selecting Installations tree nodes:

• To view or hide child nodes, click the small arrow to the left of a node.

• If you select a parent node, all its child nodes are automatically selected, and the active alarms associated with those nodes display in the dashboard.

• If you unselect a parent node, all its child nodes are also automatically unselected.

• If a parent node contains multiple child nodes, you can select specific individual child nodes and cancel the selection of other child nodes.

If you select an Installations node in this field, click the Filter button to put the filtering change into effect.

By default, no Installation tree nodes are selected in this field.

When no Installation tree nodes are selected, the active alarms that are associated with all Installation tree nodes, and that meet the criteria specified by the other filter options, display in the dashboard.

You cannot select an Installations node if the Show Desktop Alarms filter option is selected.

Select Show Desktop Alarms to display only desktop alarms in the dashboard.

A “desktop” is a remote system that hosts an application that contains software components that have registered with the Enterprise Manager. The registered applications on these desktops can use an API to raise alarms in the Alarm Dashboard. When you select Show Desktop Alarms, only alarms from such remote systems display in the dashboard. Alarms from enterprise servers do not display in the dashboard.

In the Select Desktop Name drop-down list, you can select an individual desktop to display only alarms from that desktop in the dashboard. Only desktops on which an alarm is raised are available from the Select Desktop Name drop-down list. If you are looking for a particular desktop, and you cannot find it in the drop-down list, the registered applications on that desktop have not raised any alarms.

When you select the Show Desktop Alarms option, the Installations filter is not used.

Each of the four filter options has a Clear option underneath its filter selections.

To clear any selected filtering criteria for the option, click Clear underneath an individual filter option and then click the Filter button. In this case, all alarms associated with the cleared filtering option that meet the criteria of the other configured filter options display in the dashboard.

For example, if you click Clear underneath the Alarm Name filter option, all Alarm Names display in the dashboard.
