Most monitoring systems are set up to simply detect an event, subsequently sending an alarm. There is no mechanism to detect whether or not the condition has cleared. A good example is server reboots. If a server reboots, a monitoring system that is checking the server’s availability will generate an alarm. If the system is back online most products have no mechanism to clear the alarm. ViewITpro solves this problem with AutoClear. If a condition is healed by the next polling interval, an alarm canceling event is generated to resolve the original alarm and log the results as an auto-cleared alarm in the ViewITpro alarm history.
