Alarms
Alarms are used to alert users to problems within an application, and are managed using the Alarm Editor.
Alarms are setup by defining a condition that causes an alarm (i.e. a Device is disconnected). An alarm can have one of four states:
- Inactive: The alarm condition is not active.
- Unacknowledged: The alarm condition is active but not acknowledged
- Acknowledged: The alarm condition is active and acknowledged
- Restored: The alarm condition is not active and not acknowledged.
The state of an alarm will usually change in the following order:
Inactive > Unacknowledged > Acknowledged > Inactive
or
Inactive > Unacknowledged > Restored > Inactive
