Netsight alarm self clear

Is there a way to have alarms auto clear if the event causing the alarms clear.

I think it’s dependent whether the device sends something if the loop is gone or not. Doesn’t matter if trap or syslog. Personally I prefer to work with traps whenever possible because most manufacturer implement traps with clear defined states. So for example Fan running = trapOID.x.x.x.1, Fan defect = trapOID.x.x.x.2
This makes it a lot simpler in XMC to work with self clearing alarms then with syslog and parsed strings. Also if you have different device manufacturers in XMC, parsed syslog strings are difficult to handle.

How about auto clear an alarm after a certain number of hours or days have passed?

Thanks,

I would suggest looking at syslog severity levels and see if there are any messages at the info level that say the loop condition is gone.

Hi

Yes and know. We do have a trap, but we use the syslog for the alarm.
