Changing Alarm Settings for the Optics and OTN Interfaces
You can modify the configuration settings for alarm settings of optical interfaces using the Preferences page of the Connectivity Services Director application. To open the Preferences page, click the down arrow next to the System button in the Connectivity Services Director banner and select Preferences. The Preferences page opens with User Preferences as the default tab. Click the Fault tab of the Preferences page of the Connectivity Services Director GUI to enable individual alarms, set the retention period for alarms, configure alarm notifications, and to specify the number of events to keep for each alarm. The Fault tab has multiple sections, which you can expand and collapse by clicking the arrow next to the section title:
Global Settings, for configuring Faults settings such as global alarm notifications and alarm data retention.
Individual Alarms and Threshold Settings, for configuring settings for individual alarms.
This section describes the following tasks that you can perform by using the alarm monitors displayed in Fault mode:

Configuring Global Alarm Notifications
You can configure global e-mail notifications to be sent when any alarm with notifications enabled is generated. To configure global e-mail notifications, enter the e-mail addresses to receive global alarm notifications in the Alarm Notifications Destinations field in the Global Settings section. Separate addresses with a comma (,). For information about enabling notification for an alarm, see Configuring Individual Alarm Notifications.
Retaining Alarm History
Use the No. of days to keep Alarm field in the Global Settings section to specify the number of days to keep alarm history. The default retention time is 120 days; but you can specify a period of 7 through 1000 days. Specifying a longer retention time consumes more database resources. To change the alarm retention duration, type a new value and click OK and Yes to confirm the change.
Specifying Event History
Use the Events/Alarm field in the Global Settings section to specify the number of event entries that are kept in the alarm history. The default setting for events is 20. To change the setting, type a new value and click OK and Yes to confirm the change.
Enabling Alarms
Ensure all devices are configured to send traps to Connectivity Services Director. This task is performed for the devices in Deploy mode through Set SNMP Trap Configuration.
Use the Individual Alarms and Threshold Settings section to disable and re-enable individual alarms or all alarms. Alarms appear on both tabs in the section: Alarm Settings and Threshold Settings. Fault alarms are preconfigured and initially enabled. To enable or disable alarms:
- (Optional) Sort the alarms. By default, the list of alarms is sorted alphabetically within each category. You can also sort by description or alarm severity within a category by clicking a column heading.
- Review the alarms and either select the check box in the heading to select all of the alarms or select the check box for the individual alarms you want to enable.
- Click OK and Yes to confirm the alarm change.
Changing the Severity of Individual Alarms
You can change the severity of the alarms to match your corporate procedures and guidelines. For example, at your company a DoS attack might be considered a critical alarm, while Connectivity Services Director has a default severity for DoS attacks as a major alarm. Alarms appear on both tabs in the Individual Alarms and Threshold Settings section: Alarm Settings and Threshold Settings.
To change the severity of an alarm:
- Select the current severity in the Severity column. A list of the severity levels appear.
- Select the new severity level for the alarm.
- Click OK and Yes to confirm the
change to the severity setting.
To configure alarm notifications, see Configuring Individual Alarm Notifications.
Configuring Individual Alarm Notifications
You can configure e-mail notifications to be sent when an individual alarm is generated. When you enable notification for an alarm, the notifications are sent to the e-mail addresses configured for the alarm and the addresses configured for global alarm notifications. Alarms appear on both tabs in the Individual Alarms and Threshold Settings section: Alarm Settings and Threshold Settings.
To configure e-mail notification for an alarm name:
- Select the check box in the alarm’s Notification
column.
If you later want to disable notification for the alarm, clear the check box.
- Click Edit Notification in the Notification column. The Alarm Notification Details window opens.
- Enter one or more e-mail addresses in the Notification
Email Addresses field. Separate addresses with a comma (,).
You can later edit the addresses to send notifications to different addresses.
- (Optional) Enter a comment in the Comments field. This comment is included in the e-mail notification message.
- Click Save.
