Enable or disable an alarm

You can disable an alarm if you no longer want OEM Cloud to monitor a device or an XBee node. This feature is useful if you want to control when an alarm is in use instead of deleting it. After an alarm has been disabled, you can enable the alarm at any time.

The enabled or disabled status of the alarm displays in the Enabled column in the Alarms page.

If you want to delete an alarm permanently, see Delete an alarm.

Note You can only enable or disable the alarms that you have added. You cannot enable or disable alarms that were added by another user.

1. Click Device Management > Alarms.
2. Select the alarm you want to control. The Enable/Disable Alarm button appears in the toolbar.
3. Click Enable/Disable Alarm. A drop-down menu appears.
   • Select Enable to begin monitoring the conditions in that alarm. The status "Enabled" displays in the Enabled column.
   • Select Disable to stop monitoring the conditions in that alarm. The status "Disabled" displays in the Enabled column.
