Using the Alarm Templates Dashboard

To access the Alarm Templates dashboard, navigate to Alarm Management > Alarm Templates from the navigation panel.

The Alarm Templates dashboard displays the default factory template and any duplicated or created templates. For each template, you can view the configured targets, selected domains, and available alarms for that domain.

The Alarm Templates dashboard contains the following elements:

• Templates menu: displays the factory template and any templates created or duplicated. Also contains the elements below.

  • Template Search: Allows you to find templates with names containing the entered search string.
  • Create Template: Use this option to create a fresh template rather than duplicating an existing template.
  • Set Defaults: Allows you to set the default template for each domain.

• Domains tabs: Foglight groups monitored components into domains based on common technology. Each domain requires a different set of alarms and rules. Click the tab to view the alarms and values for the selected domain. The domains tab also includes a drop-down menu from which you can select a domain.

• Alarms table: the alarms table displays information about the alarms in the selected domain, as well as the status of the alarm (on or off) and the threshold values for triggering the alarm.

• Alarm Search: Allows you to find alarms with names containing the entered search string.

• Targets table: displays targets to which the selected template is applied. Targets are domain specific.
