Alarms are the warnings that occur when a collected value falls outside its "normal" range of values. This range is defined by setting thresholds and severities for the alarm. A new alarm is raised whenever the severity for the alarm changes. When the severity returns to normal, the alarm is canceled.
All alarms in Spotlight, including Diagnostic Server and operational alarms, can be configured. You can edit the settings that determine when an alarm is raised and what action is taken. You can disable alarms, apply different severities to individual keys in an alarm, and ignore certain values.
