The list of local alarms is a record of which alerts have already been dealt with by the operator at that monitoring station, making it easier to manage environments with many alerts. This is only a list of locally triggered alarms and does not include all the events that have occurred on the server. An event is considered an alarm when it has actions that open a popup on the monitoring station.
To display the list of local alarms, click on the corresponding icon in the system's main options menu:
When you open the list, it will appear above the toolbar, as shown in the image below:
The list contains the following information:
•Time: Date the event was received.
•Event type: Which type of event was received (Analytics, LPR, Global Event, Motion Detection, etc).
•Event name: Name of the event received. This name is only available for events registered within objects, such as Manual Events or Timer Events.
•Event description: Description of the event received.
•Object type: Type of object that triggered the event.
•Object name: Name of the object that triggered the event.
•Object description: Description of the object that triggered the event.
•Server: Server from which the event originated.
•Observation: Operator's comments on the event, if the action to request confirmation has been sent.
•Status: Current status of the event.
oOpen: The alarm is considered open when the popup has not yet been closed, or if it has already been closed but the operator still needs to provide the handling remarks.
oClosed: The alarm has already been closed and dealt with by the operator.
When it receives a new event, the system will mark the event in the list as still open and waiting to be dealt with:
The marking will remain as open until the operator closes the notification. The colors for open and closed events can be configured on the alarm configuration screen .
You can open the popup of an alarm that has already been closed by double-clicking the left mouse button.
