Filter

The filter column summarizes the restrictions on which alarm transitions can cause Inform actions and on what type of information is included in an Inform message:

• The first item in this column can be EVENT_ONLY, SYMBOL_ONLY, or EVENT_AND_SYMBOL. This item indicates what type of information will be forwarded to your network management platform: information to be displayed in the event browser, information about map symbol color changes, or both.
• The second item is a number representing a severity level. Only transitions whose destination state has a severity level equal to or greater than this value can cause an Inform message to be sent.
• Following the severity level, there may be a list of properties. The property group of the node associated with an alarm transition must contain one of these properties before the transition can cause an Inform message to be sent.
