Alarm definition libraries

Alarm Management uses libraries to arrange alarm definitions into logical and functional groups.

There are several special library names that Alarm Management uses in addition to the user-defined libraries. The following table describes the special alarm definition libraries:

Special library

Description

ACTIVE

The ACTIVE library contains the active alarm definitions. When an alarm definition is made active, it is moved to the ACTIVE library.

See Activating-an-alarm-definition for information on activating alarm definitions.

INACTIVE

The INACTIVE library contains the inactive alarm definitions that were in the active directory and made inactive. When an alarm definition is made inactive, it is moved to the INACTIVE library.

See Inactivating-an-alarm-definition for information on inactivating alarm definitions.

DELETED

The DELETED library contains alarm definitions that were deleted from one of the alarm definition views. When an alarm definition is deleted from one of the views, it is moved to the DELETED library. If you delete it when it is in the DELETED library, it is deleted permanently.

See Deleting-an-alarm-definition for information on deleting alarm definitions.

Tip

Avoid using alarm library names that are greater than 8 characters in length. While alarm group names can be up to 16 characters, because of space constraints, the alarm views display only the first 8 characters of the names. You will not see the complete name if it is longer than 8 characters.

If you want to use library names that are longer than 8 characters, you might want to create customized views that display up to the full 16 character names.
