All Remote Connector instances appear as alarms in the Remote connectors sub-folder of the
GSM folder.
Alarm Consumers
Alarm consumers are actions that are triggered when specific alarms occur. For example, an
alarm consumer might send an e-mail to a supervisor when a certain alarm turns red. Like
alarm providers, alarm consumers are based on plug-ins.
Alarm consumers can trigger a variety of actions, including:
• logging an event to a database
• enabling the GSM to act as an SNMP agent
• sending SNMP traps
• sending an e-mail or SMS message
• activating a GPI output
• launching a script
• switching a router crosspoint
Alarm consumers are often referred to in iControl as actions, and are managed via the
Admin > Actions tab of the GSM Alarm Browser.
