View Alarms
On J Series routers only, you can monitor active alarms on the J-Web interface. To view the alarms page, click Monitor > Events and Alarms > Alarms. The View Alarms page alerts you about conditions that might prevent the routing platform from operating normally. The page displays information about active alarms, the severity of the alarms, the time at which the alarm began and a brief description for each active alarm. Alternatively, you can use the CLI to view alarms on all routers. An alarm indicates that you are running the routing platform in a manner that is not recommended. When you see an alarm, you must check its cause and remedy it.
Alternatively, you can display alarm information by entering the following commands at the J-Web CLI terminal:
- show chassis alarms
- show system alarms
The View Alarms page displays all the active alarms along with detailed descriptions. Each description provides more information about the probable cause or solution for the condition that caused the alarm (see Sample Task—Viewing and Filtering Alarms). The description also provides the date and time when the failure was detected.
