Alarms: Ignoring

You can ignore alarms in Tracer Ensemble . Doing so does not alleviate the cause of the alarm but will prevent the alarm from posting repeatedly to the system. By ignoring an alarm, you are effectively creating a rule in the system telling it to always ignore a particular alarm from a particular source or a particular type of alarm from all sources.

Note: Ignored alarms affect all users in the system. If one user ignores an alarm, no other user will receive notification of it.

To ignore an alarm and create an ignored alarm rule:

1. In the header, click All Alarms.
2. Locate and select the alarm you want to ignore.
3. Click Ignore. The Permanent Alarm Filtering popup window appears.
4. Read the popup window and make a choice, then click Save. Your choice will be applied to the system unless or until the rule is deleted.
