Alarms

An alarm is a notification that is triggered when one or more conditions are met.

When accessing this option, the list of registered alarms is displayed.

Create a new alarm

By clicking on the New Alarm button, we access the form, where the conditions that the alarm must meet to trigger a notification, and the severity level defined for that alarm, are established. Users will only be able to see the alarms that have been created in the domains to which they have access. In addition, if the user is an administrator, the user will be able to create, edit and delete these alarms.

1. General Settings

   Field	Description
   Name	Name of the alarm
   Time window	Time interval that must be exceeded by excess or predetermined values given in the upper/lower limit for the alarm to be active
   Product type	Select the type of application/element for which the alarm has been defined. The user will see the options included in their license in this field
   Notify every	Sets the time sequence for notification
   Upper/lower limit	Indicates the number of events (maximum/minimum) that must meet the alarm conditions to trigger the notification
   Unit	Desired aggregation for the alarm. It will vary depending on the aggregations available in the desired product type
   Time zone	Allows choosing the time definition to be used for the alarm
   Alarm Domain	Sets the domain in which the alarm will be created
   Severity	The user must define the severity level given to the alarm. Depending on the conditions defined for the alarm, it will imply a very low, low, medium, high, very high, or critical risk. This severity grading is also indicated on a color scale

2. Outliers

   Redborder uses data analysis techniques to provide notifications of potential dangers, this option allows the user to configure smart alarms that will be triggered if any network anomalies are detected within the filters specified in the Conditions section.

   Activating this option will perform an anomaly analysis once the configured Time window in the alarm's General Settings has passed.

   The granularity indicates the level of temporal detail that the alarm will use to analyze the data.

3. Notifications

   Notification method	Description
   Syslog	Allows exporting notifications to an external syslog server
   Email	Enables the selection of users to send notifications via email when an alarm is triggered
   Slack	Enables the Slack Webhook field that allows the platform to send a message to a Slack channel when an alarm is triggered

4. Conditions

   These are the filters that will trigger the alarm. They can be configured similarly to how they would be configured in the type of application/element for which the alarm has been defined.

5. Product Type

   Type of application/element for which the alarm has been defined. The user can only select the applications to which he has access. If an administrator creates an alarm in a domain where the specified product type is not accessible, this alarm will not be triggered.
