A user can view alarms using the web interface, CLI, and SAT command-line interface.

Alarms logged by Communication Manager are stored in an alarm log. The following is an example of a server alarm in the syslog:

When you enter the command almdisplay on the server command line, the system displays information from the text string in the following manner:
