6038.0. "Alarms disappearing from the Notification Window" by CUJO::BROWN (Dave Brown) Thu Jun 30 1994 17:53

    
    
    	I've got a customer who just reported that he has been seeing MCC
    alarms notifications disappearing from his notification window. I went
    to have a look at this and sure enough, one can see the alarm sequence
    numbers on the left of the display are non contiguous. 
    
    	What happened yesterday is that they lost one of their Netbuilders
    which caused about 20 critical/red alarms to come up in the alarms
    notification window for the nodes behind the netbuilder. The alarms
    stayed on the screen for a while and then all 20 or so disappeared
    leaving a 20 or so gap in the alarm sequence numbers.
    
    	When the customer was discussing this with me, another customer
    said "I've had that happen to me too - I thought I was loosing my
    mind!"
    
    	There are no filters enabled for any protocols. If it was a filter
    problem, I would think that the alarms would never come up on the
    screen. Can CLEAR alarms remove CRITICAL alarms from the notification
    window? Is there anything which should be able to remove alarms from the 
    notification window?
    
    	Thanks!

Its the documented behavior.  It has been discussed in this conference
a number of times.  When deleting alarms, those that do not affect the
colour of the map are deleted before those that do.  You can change this
to delete the oldest, or you can up the size of the buffer to greater than
500 notifications. Your choice.
