Viewing Active Alarms (Release 2.5 - 3.4)

For SmartServer 3.5 and higher, see Managing Alarm Notifications.

With SmartServer 2.5 - 3.4, you can use the Active Only option on the Alarms (Alarms and Events) widget to display only the active alarms. Active Only refers to alarm conditions that are on-going. For example, if a high-error datapoint value alarm for a temperature datapoint is set for 100 degrees, and the current measured temperature is greater than 100 degrees, then the alarm is active. If the current measured temperature is less than 100 degrees, then the alarm is not active.

If Active Only is disabled, then the alarm will be shown in both cases. If Active Only is enabled, then the alarm will only be shown in the first case (where the current measured temperature is greater than 100 degrees), as shown in the example below.
