Alarms List view
Each alarm row in the Alarms List contains an object icon that identifies the source of the alarm, an alarm icon that indicates the severity of the alarm, the time when the alarm occurred, and the text of the alarm. The columns are sortable so that alarms can be listed in order by source, severity, time, or message. Simply click a column heading to sort the table by that column.
If you click an alarm’s severity icon, a popup for acknowledging or clearing that alarm is displayed. The popup provides a lot of pertinent information about the alarm, such as the rule of origin for the alarm, the history of the alarm, and all of the notes attached to the alarm. If you click the message or any other column in the row, you are provided with a popup menu. From the popup menu, you can choose to view a VMware Explorer dashboard for the corresponding object.
For more information about managing alarms with the Foglight for VMware browser interface, see the Foglight for VMware User Guide.
The Alarms List view takes up the majority of that dashboard.
