Alarms Analysis Dashboard Question

Jason
over 6 years ago

I'm seeking some clarification on this Knowledgebase Article:
Alarm Analysis Cartridge plug in for Foglight and Foglight for Virtualization Enterprise. (144909)

The notes in this article state that in the 5.7.5.7 FMS release, the Alarm Analysis tab has been added to the Alarms Dashboard. (Note: The KB article also has attached the AlarmAnalysis-2_2_4 cartridge and it is indicated that this is a community maintained cartridge.)

I'm just trying to understand what the change that was introduced in 5.7.5.7 really amounts to. Is it that the cartridge remains unsupported by Quest but the official Foglight product has added only the "Alarms Analysis" tab to the official Alarms dashboard, enabling such if the unsupported cartridge happens to be installed?

If I disable the AlarmAnalysis cartridge (I've had it installed for quite some time), does the new Alarms Analysis tab go away, not function, etc? Or is the functionality of the AlarmAnalysis cartridge now integrated into the official product now making the AlarmAnalysis-2_2_4 cartridge no longer required to be installed separately?

Hopefully my question is clear and someone can clarify...

Thanks

    Thanks Lee, that answers my question perfectly! I have now disabled and uninstalled the AlarmAnalysis cartridge and I see I have full functionality of that feature under the Alarms Analysis tab.

    This may require a separate post but I also have the "ClearandDeleteAlarms" cartridge installed (v1.0.4). I think in an earlier edition of the AlarmAnalysis cartridge there were some associated rules created to assist in managing alarms. However if I remember correctly this functionality was moved to the ClearandDeleteAlarms-1_0_4 cartridge at a later date.

    My question is, can I also now disable and remove the ClearandDeleteAlarms cartridge? Has its functionality been fully integrated with FMS 5.7.5.7?
