The Define / Action screen allows the creation and maintenance of what happens when an alarm is triggered and may be referenced when defining an alarm.
An Action is a set of notifications that occur when the alarm is triggered. The notification consists of any or all of the following:
The field Disable this Action provides the ability to turn-off (or prevent the processing) of the record without deleting it. However, a disabled Action still results in the default of Send to Screen as Red.
A color is associated with Send to Screen and Send to LOG. Red is considered the most severe and Screen the least. An incrementing alarm starts with on screen, changes to yellow and finally to red based on the Escalation Interval.
The MOMI LOG is an event file maintained by MOMI. It is accessed on the screen LogFile. Send Changes indicates that any change in the Alarm messages is logged. By default, only the first and last (or clear) are logged.
An EMS message may be sent to the $0 collector (default) or an alternate collector. The message has the attributes of Action, Emphasis or Normal and may be accessed on the screen EMS Msgs. Send Changes indicates that any change in the Alarm messages is also logged. By default, only the first and last (or clear) are logged.
Email may be sent to either an individual address (Email) or a group of addresses (Email_Group). If an alarm is generated, one email is sent. If the option Send EMAIL when Alarm is Cleared is checked a second email is sent when the alarm is no longer present.
