Alarm List

The Alarms page in the Nexus Platform provides a real-time overview of all standing alarms—that is, alarms that are currently active or have returned to normal but have not yet been acknowledged. This view helps operators and system administrators quickly identify active issues, assess their impact, and take corrective actions.

Layout and Functionality

The interface is structured as a sortable table with interactive controls that enhance usability and filtering. Each row in the table represents a single alarm instance with core information visible at a glance.

Alarms can be expanded to reveal additional metadata and context.

Acknowledge

Alarm

Selecting one or more alarms enables the "Acknowledge Alarm" button. This acknowledges the alarms, indicating that the operator is aware of the condition and has taken responsibility for addressing it. Upon acknowledgment, the alarms are enriched with the operator’s name and the timestamp of the action. The operator may also include an optional comment to provide context, describe the intended mitigation, or document observations related to the alarm.

Suppress

Alarms

Allows selected alarms to be temporarily hidden from the view. Useful during maintenance windows or known transient conditions. Suppressed alarms are not deleted and will reappear once suppression ends. The suppression of alarms is based on logical filters.

Reset

View

Clears all filters, sorting, and expanded rows to restore the default table layout.
