Alarms information is displayed in several locations within the NSX Manager interface. Alarm and event information is also included with other notifications in the Notifications drop-down menu in the title bar.
An alarm can be in one of the following states:
State | Description |
---|---|
Open | Alarm is in an active, unacknowledged state. |
Acknowledged | Alarm has been acknowledged by a user. The alarm remains open but no longer appears in the NSX Manager notifications. |
Suppressed | Status reporting for this alarm has been disabled by the user for a user-specified duration. |
Resolved | Alarm has been resolved, whether by the system or through user action. The alarm will continue to appear in the alarm table in the Resolved state for up to eight days, after which it automatically deletes. (The system may delete resolved alarms earlier to accommodate resource needs.)
Note: If a user changes an alarm state to Resolved but the condition that triggered the alarm is not resolved, a new alarm instance will be instantiated. Also, an event may be resolved for several minutes before the reported state updates in the interface.

Note: The following steps show how to view alarms from the Home page. However, you can also view alarms from other pages, such as the Tier-0, Tier-1, and Load Balancing pages, among others. See the Alarms columns in the tables on these pages.
