Alarm list settings

In setup mode, you can select whether or not you want to see the alarms or events grouped by servers in a navigation tree and how many alarms or events you want the list to display at a time. This is also where you specify whether you want the alarm list to display alarms or events.

Name

Description

Show navigation tree

Select to display the navigation tree on the left of the alarm list. We recommend that you keep this option selected, because the navigation tree provides an overview of alarm priorities and states, and—not least—the number of alarms in each priority and state.

Max. rows to fetch

Controls the maximum number of lines to fetch and display in the alarm list. By default, the alarm list displays up to 100 lines, that is up to 100 alarms or events at a time. This provides a good response time, since fetching and displaying larger numbers of alarms or events can take time. There can of course easily be more than 100 alarms or events, and if you want to view more than the first 100 alarms or events, you simply use the buttons in the top right part of the alarm list to browse to the next alarms or events, which will then be fetched and displayed.

In the field, you can set the maximum numbers of rows from 1 to 999, but remember that the more alarms or events in the list, the longer it takes to display the list. If you change the number, note that the number of rows in the list will not be updated until you select another element than the Max. rows to fetch field, for example a row in the alarm list.

Data Source

Select whether you want to display a list of alarms or events in the Alarm List.

The event list does not display system- or user-generated events, such as motion detection or archive failure.
