Alarms
The Alarm list shows all sensors that are currently in a Down, Down (Part ial), Down
(Acknowledged), Warning, or Unusual status. Sensors in other states (for example, Up,
Paused, or Unknown) do not appear here. This is useful to keep track of all irregularities in your network.
In the table list, you can re-sort the items by clicking on the column's header items.
