Alarms

There are three kinds of alarms reports: Grouped Alarms Report, Alarms History Report, and New Alarms History Report (legacy). Selecting the Alarms button at the left brings you to the Grouped Alarms Report by default. The other kinds are available from the top tabs. Like with other reports, data can be filtered and sorted, see Advanced Filtering.

Grouped Alarms Report

The Grouped Alarms Report displays all alarms grouped by equipment and alarm type. For example, if an equipment has multiple battery low signals, they will show up as a single row. If you want to see all individual alarm events use the Alarms History Report instead.

This report displays the alarm level, group name, active alarm count, alarm event pin status, the equipment in which the alarm originated from, description, and the active alarm event time (usually the latest alarm).

Equipment can also be configured at the template level ( Advanced Alarm Configuration ) to further group alarms together. For example, an alarm of type battery low can be grouped with an alarm of type battery normal and the group's alarm level would be that of the latest alarm signal received. This allow the group's alarm level to clear itself back to normal when a normal signal is received. An alarm signal manually configured into a group doesn't appear individually outside of the group.
