Configuring alarm filters using Web Tools
The Fabric Watch window provides GUI support for the CLI command fwalarmsfilterset. This option
is used to configure the alarm filtering for Fabric Watch. By disabling the alarms, all non-environment
and non-resource class alarms are suppressed. By enabling the alarms, all class alarms are
generated.
To configure the alarm filter, perform the following steps:
1. Open the Fabric Watch window.
2. Select Configure > Alarm Filter > Enable.
3. Click Yes in the confirmation message.
