Alarm Publication Lookup Table
Services, such as Densité Manager, automatically publish their alarms on GSMs within the
same subnet as the Application Server hosting the service. However, if you would like alarms
to be visible to a GSM outside the local subnet, you must specify the IP address of the external
Application Server (the server hosting the lookup service where the target GSM is registered)
in the Alarm publication table of the iControl Lookup locations page.

Examples: Service and Alarm Discovery Scenarios
The way in which lookup services are configured varies from one installation to another. The
examples on the following pages demonstrate the basic concepts, and can serve as a guide as
you set up your own iControl network.
IMPORTANT: System behavior
If the Alarm publication table of Application Servers is empty, the Densité
Manager on the local Application Server publishes its alarms exclusively on the
local GSM and active GSMs on Application Servers within the subnet.
If the Alarm publication table is populated with the IP address of a non-local
Application Server, and you would like the local GSM to see alarms originating
from the local Densité Manager, you must also include the IP address of the local
Application Server.
