Step 4.4. Set Alarm Custom Attributes

You can configure custom attributes for each point alarm, allowing the ability to assign more than one job function to a point alarm and filter based on any combinations of those job functions using alarm setups.

Points to consider before you begin to enter the custom attributes:
  • You can enter up to 10 custom attributes.
  • Alphanumeric and special characters are supported.
  • Each custom attribute can contain a single value or a comma separated set of values.
  • Each custom attribute can support a maximum string length of 512 characters.
  • Custom attributes are available only for point alarms.
  • Alarm custom attributes are configurable using the CIMSERVER object model.
    Note: The CIMSERVER object model allows to configure an Alarm Custom Attribute Description for each Alarm Custom Attribute. Descriptions are not available for configuration in the user interface.
