View Default Alarm Log Files
All alarms that are generated from a node are collected by the node’s alarm daemon
and recorded in component-specific default alarm log files. Component-specific
default alarm log files are automatically created during the initial system boot-up
process.
When these default alarm log files, initially, reach their preconfigured file size limit,
default alarm log backup files are created to provide extended storage for alarm
information.
Each time a default alarm log file reaches its file size limit, its existing backup file
information is overwritten with the newer information. You can select to filter and
view these backup default alarm log files.
Each component is limited to a single default alarm log file and a single backup file.
For additional information about default alarm log files, see Default Alarm Log Files
on page 251.
Information from default alarm log files display in the Alarm Viewer window. The
data displays in the same format as it exists in the actual file and the format can not be
modified.
Alarm information includes the day, month, date, and time the alarm is generated; the
process generating the alarm; the Alarm Number; Severity Level; and message text.
When applicable, it will also include the Component Identifier, Phone Line Number,
and Host Number.
You can only display alarm information; you can not edit it. For additional
information, see Alarm Viewer Window on page 253.
Although all alarms generated by a component are recorded in the default alarm log
file, you can apply an alarm filter to an alarm log file, see Filtering Alarm Log Files
on page 265.
The default alarm log file’s logging process is not subject to filters. Filters apply only
to the display of information contained in the file, not to the information that is
recorded in the file.
You can define an alarm filter directly from Alarm Filter or retrieve the filter from a
previously saved filter file. For information about the Alarm Filter, see Filter Alarms
on page 258.
