We are pleased to announce some long requested updates to our alarm status page. These updates include:
- Greatly improved performance

- Ability to acknowledge multiple alarms at once
- Combine complex filters across sites, alarms, and individual tags

Alarm Filtering
There are now three main options for filtering alarms. Any combination of these can be created.
- Events for a site or multiple sites
- Events for a single tag or tags
- Events for a single alarm or alarms
By default, the page loads in single site mode. Select a site on the left, and alarms will load on the right side.
To select multiple sites, change the “Mode” dropdown to “Sites”. Then, drag sites from the available site list, into the selected filter list below. Click “Apply” and events will be loaded.
To select alarms for tag(s), change the mode to “Tags” and a second Site dropdown will appear. Choose a site to view a list of Tags. Then, drag the desired tag(s) into the selected filter list below. Click “Apply” and events will be loaded. This same process can be applied to the “Alarms” mode.
Any combination of these filters can be selected. Any alarm event matching the filters will be displayed.
State Filtering
Above the filter selection, there are 4 checkboxes representing each possible alarm state. Check and uncheck these boxes to selected the desired alarm event states you’d like to view.
Fullscreen
To toggle between “Fullscreen” and “Split view”, press the “Expand” button in the top left, above the results table.
Selecting Columns
The first time you view this page, the default column configuration will load. To select your desired column, press the column select button above the results table. You will then be presented with a list of available columns.
Once you have the desired columns selected, press “ok”. To rearrange your selected columns, simple click and drag left or right on the column header name. If you’d like this configuration to be loaded the next time you view the screen, press “Save”. To reset to default, press “Reset” and to load your currently saved config, press “Load”.
Exporting
The results table can be exported as an Excel or CSV file at any time by selecting the desired output format and clicking “Export” above the results table.
Acknowledging Alarms
To acknowledge alarms, first select the desired alarm(s) in the results table that are unacked. Then, press the “Acknowledge” button above the results table. You will be prompted with a confirmation box and the number of alarms selected. On confirmation, another popup will ask you for ack notes. These are optional, and can be bypassed by leaving the notes blank.
Viewing the Callout Log
To view the callout log for a given alarm, select it in the results table and press the “Callout Log” button in the top right.
Auto refresh
The status table will refresh by default every 15 seconds and can be manually refreshed at any time using the refresh button. The auto refresh can also be disabled. This can be handy for large datasets.
Search and Filter Results
Many columns can be filtered with complex filters by hovering over the column name and clicking the filter icon. You can also do a simple search of some columns by selecting a column name in the search dropdown, and typing a value in the search field.
