The Define / Action screen allows the creation and maintenance of what happens when an alarm is triggered.
An Action is a set of notifications that occur when the alarm is triggered. The notification consists of any or all of the following:
display on the Active Alarm screen
generate an event to the MOMI LogFile
generate an EMS message
generate an Email
The field Disable this Action provides the ability to prevent the processing of the record without deleting it. However, a disabled Action still results in the default of Send to Screen as red.
A color is associated with Send to Screen and Send to LOG. Red is considered the most severe and Screen the least. An incrementing alarm starts with on screen, changes to yellow and finally to red based on the Escalation Interval.
The MOMI LOG is an event file maintained by MOMI. It is accessed on the screen LogFile. Send Changes indicates that any change in the Alarm messages is logged. By default, only the first and last (or clear) are logged.
An EMS message has the attributes of Action, Emphasis and Normal. EMS messages are access on the screen EMS Msgs. Send Changes indicates that any change in the Alarm messages is logged. By default, only the first and last (or clear) are logged.
Email may be sent to either an individual address or a group. By default, only the first Alarm message is sent. The option "Send EMAIL when Alarm is Cleared" cause the Alarm clear to also be sent.
