A major difference however is that
alarms work separately on the database, not using any filters. Since
alarms are used identify specific events, and since alarm criteria
are specified, an alarm definition does not have the 'negative
filter rule' button. The interval is specified from 3 minutes up to
20 days.
The interval also specifies how often
the alarm criterion is investigated. An alarm specified at one day
will be investigated once per day. When looking for a specific
event, the shortest interval of 3 minutes is usually chosen.
When, for example, looking for expected
summery reports, the interval is usually chosen to be the same are
the interval of the summery reports (Backup status, update status
etc). |
