7.4 Performing a Simple Filtering of Alarms by Severity

In the Alarms views, all alarms display by default.

In the top toolbar, Filter toolbar buttons represent the different severity levels (Critical, Major, Minor, and so on) by showing the associated color. The number of alarms for each severity displays next to button.

Use these Filter toolbar buttons to display or hide alarms in the view based on severity only.
