MOMI Alarms are the ability to set thresholds and trigger notifications.
An Alarm definition is unique for each threshold monitored but the Alarm also references a reusable monitor time and action record. By default, an Alarm is monitored continuously and displays in red on the Alarms / Active screen.
Creation of an Alarm generally follows the sequence of entering a unique name, description, selection of an Entity Type and Sub-type, setting thresholds, entering entity name(s), selecting the Times to monitor and Action to take. If a desired Times or Action record does not already exist, the View button may be pressed to jump to the appropriate Define screen to create the record and then push Back to continue with the Alarm Definition.
Alarm processing may be delayed at MOMI start by using the CONFMOMI keyword ALARM-SUSPEND-DELAY.
By default, only the user that started the MOMI server is allowed to configure an Alarm. Additional users may be granted this authority by activating Client Access.
One of the available Actions to an Alarm is the generation of Email or Email to a Group. To enable this function, the following CONFMOMI keywords must be defined (or review its default value).
Email requires an external SMTP server (i.e. outgoing email) and the return Email address:
Some SMTP (i.e. outgoing email) servers require the HELO sequence which requires a portion of your email address defined in this keyword:
If you have CLIMs on your system, you may need to direct which physical Ethernet is used for sending email:
The TCP/IP process used to communicate with the SMTP server has a default which may be overridden:
Definition of alarm objects usually have several common screen commands:
Disable this <text varies> when enabled (and Change is pushed) causes the selected record to no longer function. The record is not deleted.
Display causes the selected record (or entered text) to appear.
Save New creates a record. If a record with the same name is already present, an error is displayed.
Change updates an existing record. If a record with the same name does not exist, an error is displayed.
Delete removes an existing record.
