Prior to SMartServer 3.5, the alarms and events widget was called alarms.

You can manage alarm notifications in the SmartServer through the CMS Alarms and Events widget as described in Setting up Alarm Email Notifications 1479652.  You can also set up alarm notifications to be sent as emails.  To send an alarm email notifications from the SmartServer, you must first set up an SMTP server that the SmartServer can use to send the email. (See Configuring SMTP Settings section located in Configure Your SmartServer).

Once an alarm occurs, it will appear in the Alarms and Events widget for a specific target. To see another occurrence of an alarm type for a specific target, you must first clear the alarm. For example, a datapoint has up to four alarms types: Low Warning, Low Error, High Warning, and High Error. Only one entry for each alarm type will appear in the Alarms and Events widget for a specific datapoint; however, the same alarm type may appear for multiple datapoints. Since an email is sent each time an alarm criteria is met, you may receive multiple emails for any alarm type.

The Alarms and Events widget displays the time, device name, and the UID for each discovered alarm condition. It also provides the ability to editcreate, copy, edit, and remove delete alarm definitions as described in this section.
