Viewing Alarms and Events

The Event Browser stores all alarms and displays current as well as historical data. You can detect the presence of an alarm by the color that Cisco EMF uses to represent network objects. The color of an object indicates its operational status. SNMP traps raise alarms on CDM.

For further information on the Event Browser, you can refer to the Cisco Element Manager Framework User Guide.

The Event Browser window displays the following information in a table format:

• The time and date when the system reports an event.

• The name of the object that is affected by the event.

• A description of the event and its level of severity.

You can navigate directly from a single event to the affected object to perform detailed configuration activities.

Step 2   Set your query criteria on the window.

The Query Editor contains many tabs that you can use to define and refine your alarm search criteria. You can use the >> or << arrows to move the available values to the right side of the tab to select them.

Step 3   Always click Activate after you specify the values for the alarms that you want to view.

The Event Browser displays all alarms that match your query criteria.

Note   Refer to the Cisco Element Manager Framework User Guide for more detailed information about using the Query Editor.

Step 2   From the list boxes at the left, select the relevant chassis, card, and ATM interface. The fault information for the selected ATM interface appears to the right.
