Silencing Recurrent Alarms

Silencing an alarm means hiding all present and future instances of a particular type of alarm, regardless of the type of device that generated it. Typically, this is done to declutter your Alarms panel so you can focus on the alarms that you are interested in. For example, a person monitoring traffic routing may not be interested in Missing Set alarms. Silencing alarms also prevents alerts on those alarms from being sent.

Click the icon to silence that alarm type. Alarms are silenced only for the person that invokes this function. Use the Hidden and Visible filter buttons to quickly isolate hidden alarms. Click on the icon to unsilence an alarm type.

The icons are available on the Alarms panel of a container dashboard and on the Alarm Analytics tab. From a device dashboard, access the Alarm Analytics tab to see the icons.

Silenced alarms still appear in quick queries and reports.
