Alarms are predefined business objects used
to represent alarm conditions that occur in managed objects.
By default, alarm business objects are not represented in the
network and equipment components. Instead, the
alarm state is represented. The alarm state
provides an aggregated view of the alarms that affect a managed
object. For details on how to customize the alarm state
information, refer to
Customizing object states.
Alarm business objects have a representation
in the table component and in the tree component.
Representation of alarms in a table
Like any business object, an alarm is
represented as a row in a table. Each column of the table
corresponds to an attribute of the alarm.
Representation of alarms in a tree
Like any business object, an alarm is
represented as a tree node in a tree.
