iControl Edge Web Monitoring 2
Alarm Color Legend
The following table describes the color scheme used by iControl Edge to display alarm statuses:
Color Status Description
White Pending Alarm exists but has not yet been reported. iControl is waiting for the hardware
or driver to update the alarm. White is the default status for a new alarm that has
been added to a GSM, before its current status is known. This status should be
replaced very quickly as iControl is updated, though it might persist as the result
of a slow VPN connection. If a GSM service is stopped, then all alarms originating
from this GSM will revert to pending status.
Green Normal The device, service, or signal being monitored is operating within allowable
parameters.
Yellow Minor Warning that an error of low importance has occurred.
Orange Major Warning that an error of intermediate importance has occurred.
Red Critical Warning that an error of critical importance has occurred.
Gray Unknown Failure to get the status of an alarm provider, even though the source device has
been detected. This could happen, for example, as the result of (1) a lost network
connection, or (2) a loss of signal that would trigger a critical alarm for signal
presence but leave all other related alarms in an unknown status (e.g. the freeze
or black status is unknown if a signal is not present).
Blue Non-existent A pseudo-status representing an alarm that has been removed (or was never
added). When an alarm has been registered in the GSM, its associated URI
becomes “known” in the iControl system. The URI may be used by the iControl
log viewer, and possibly by one or more virtual alarms, to poll an alarm provider
for the alarm status. If the alarm provider is removed — for example, if a card is
removed from a frame — the log viewer or virtual alarm will be unable to detect
an alarm status, and will therefore report the “non-existent” status as blue.
Black Disabled Alarm exists but is disabled at the source by the user. Some devices have the
ability to deactivate certain alarms on the hardware itself, resulting in these
alarms appearing black.
Note: When an alarm has been set to In Maintenance, Offline, or Snooze mode, its color turns to
a darker shade, and any text associated with the alarm becomes orange. For information on alarm
management, please refer to the iControl User Guide, available from the Documentation link on
the Application Server’s Startup page.
