Adding an Alarm Type

Hyper Alarm Server alarms are configured in the Workbench configuration tool. This task describes the basic steps for creating a new custom alarm type.

As an alternative, you can right-click on a predefined alarm type and select the Edit on a new tab function. All the characteristics of the predefined alarm type are retained. You then rename and edit the alarm characteristics to meet your needs. See Alarm Types Overview for additional information.

To add an alarm type:

1. From Workbench Project Explorer, select the Alarms and Notifications >Hyper Alarm Server.
2. Right-click the Types node and select Add Type from the list.
3. Type a unique, identifiable name in the Name text box (should not exceed 200 characters.)
4. The next step is entering alarm attributes on the General tab. Learn more
