Chapter 4 Alarms and Alerts Viewing the Alarm Summary Niagara Release Niagara Browser Access Guide Revised: August 15, 2002 4–3 A LERTS Alerts maybe configured in binary and multi-state objects to be issued upon reached some COS or runtime limits. Quite often, object configuration specifies alerts to be issued at repeating intervals. For example, the binary input (BI) object monitoring a supply fan maybe configured to issue a runtime alert every 500 hours, or perhaps every 125 changes of state. When you receive an alert notification, you seethe alert type (runtime or COS) and the current limit. Optionally, you may also see some alert text (depending on configuration). Viewing the Alarm Summary The alarm summary provides a snapshot indication of how many unacknowledged alarms and alerts currently exist. It also provides links to the alarm display and alert display pages, where you can review unacknowledged alarms and alerts. Note The alarm servlet is typically a Web Supervisor function, as it uses the SQL application database. If your system has no Web Supervisor, a JACE maybe the alarm servlet host. The URL you enter to access the alarm summary is: http:///alarm (where is the IP address or host name of your Web Supervisor). Hit ENTER after typing this URL in the address bar of your browser. This produces the alarm and alert summary, as shown in Figure 4-1 Figure 4-1
