The Alarming service provides an interface for monitoring alarms generated by System Manager and other components. You can:
System Manager generates alarms to notify users of system events. Alarms are classified by their effect on system operation. Alarms can also identify the system component that generate the alarm.
Note:
For Release 6.1 elements with 6.1 SAL agent and Release 6.2 elements with 6.2 serviceability agent, System Manager cannot forward traps to Network Management System (NMS). You can configure 6.1 elements with 6.1 SAL agent and 6.2 elements with 6.2 serviceability agent to directly send SNMP traps to a customer NMS.
However, for Release 6.2.x elements, you can configure the serviceability agent from System Manager instead of configuring in each element.
For Release 5.2 and 6.0 elements, you can configure System Manager to forward alarms to Avaya Data Center (ADC).
For information on configuring serviceability agents, see Managing Serviceability Agents.
