Alarms

Alarms are notifications or alerts generated by RUCKUS One to indicate issues or changes within a network. They are early warning signs for network administrators, helping them to quickly identify and address problems.

Alarms can indicate a multitude of issues or changes within the network such as hardware failures, connectivity issues, performance issues, potential security threats, configuration changes and so on, thereby allowing for preventive measures. Alternatively, you may click the Alarms tile on the Dashboard to display the Alarms side-bar.

Click the icon on the RUCKUS One web interface to view the alarms.

The Alarms side-bar displays, by default, alarms of all severities and for all products. Each severity level reflects the seriousness of an issue and aids in prioritizing responses. The severities filter defaults to All Severities, but you may choose to filter on one of the following alarm severities:

Critical: Indicates a severe issue that has caused a significant service disruption or failure. Immediate action is required to restore service. Critical alarm notifications are represented by the icon.
Major: Represents a serious problem that has degraded service significantly and needs prompt attention to prevent complete service loss. Major alarm notifications are represented by the icon.

The Products filter displays alarms by device type, such as Wi-Fi, Switch, and RUCKUS Edge. You can click Clear all alarms to clear the list of notifications at once, or select the icon beside each notification to clear it.

The Alarms tile on the Dashboard page displays the number of alarm notifications in the Alarms side-bar (6 in the image). After all alarm notifications are cleared, the Alarms tile displays No active alarms.
