Select Alarm Level Select either a custom or default setting for the alarm level
from the drop-down; this setting will be active on the switch

Update Flash Check box to update Flash Memory. From Web Tools, when
you set new threshold values and click Apply, these new
values are sent to the Fabric Watch daemon on the switch
and activated at once. These values are not however saved in
RAM and can be lost after a switch reboot.
When you check the update flash box, the current set of
threshold values will be committed to flash memory, which is
persistent storage. Those values are then saved over a switch
reboot.
