This chapter provides procedural information to search, view, and create user information for the Serviceability Alarm Definitions.
This chapter contains the following topics:

Alarm definitions describe alarm messages: what they mean and how to recover from them.
You search the alarm definitions database for alarm information. When you click on any service-specific alarm, a description of the alarm information and a recommended action display.
Cisco Unified Presence Server stores alarm definitions and recommended actions in a standard query language (SQL) server database. The system administrator can search the database for definitions of all the alarms. The definitions include the alarm name, description, explanation, recommended action, severity, parameters, and monitors. This information aids the administrator in process of troubleshooting problems that Cisco Unified Presence Server encounters.
