Configure which providers and groups to show

You configure alarm queries for alarm providers and groups that belong to the Alarm Tree Viewer control. The alarm query is a list of one or more alarm providers separated by spaces. The valid syntax for the alarm provider is as follows.

Full path to alarm provider:

\\Node\ProviderName

Path to local alarm provider:

\ProviderName

For multiple queries, separate each query with a space. For example:

\InTouch \\Node17\InTouch \\MyNode\InTouch

The default alarm query is \InTouch. You cannot use a tag for the alarm query.

If you query multiple alarm groups and later you undeploy one or more groups, the Alarm Tree Viewer control does not automatically update to remove these groups from the view. You must stop and re-start the alarm provider to un-register it.

If you query an Galaxy by specifying \Galaxy in your alarm query, then all InTouch alarm providers deployed within the Galaxy are shown. For example:

\\Node\Galaxy!Area[name]

If you query information from a node with multiple alarm providers that contain groups with the same names, records are shown for the last alarm provider in the tree.
