The Adapter sends alarms on objects that are not modeled in Smarts repositories. These are referred to as NOTARGET alarms. These alarms will be placed in the Smarts Notification Log, but they will not be associated with anything in Smarts. The NOTARGET alarms can be identified as alarms with Class names that start with SAMO- in the Smarts Notification Log. The Adapter alarm configuration file permits a different default value to be set for NOTARGET alarms than for alarms that have associated objects in Smarts.
