Adding new alarm policy

The eG Enterprise system allows the user to add new alarm policies in addition to the four preset policies. The name of the policy has to be entered in the Alarm Policy text box. The number of consecutive measurements that should be taken into account to determine the current state of a measurement should be given as the value for the Window size parameter. The Crossings parameter indicates the minimum number of measurements which when abnormal, change the state to bad.

For example, assume that the Window size is 4 and the Crossings is 2. This signifies that for every 4 measurements generated by the agent, if 2 of them cross the specified threshold limits, then the state of the measurement changes to bad. 

The Add button as always enables the user to register these values. At any point, the user can go back to the previous screen using the Back button.

Modifying existing alarm policy

The administrator has a provision to change the settings of an existing alarm policy using this page that can be reached through the Modify () icon beside the policy in the Alarm Policies list. The default window size and the number of crossings are displayed and the necessary changes to the current values can be made.

The changes made can be registered using the Update button.
