Health and Wellness View - Alarms View
You can monitor hosts and services to determine when user-defined limitations have been reached by viewing all the active alarms. Policy rules, that you define or assign to hosts and services, in the Policies tab trigger these alarms. You can:
- View all the alarms that are currently active for all your systems and services
- Select an alarm and view its details
