Viewing and Updating the Alarms of a Thing

On thing details page, you can view and update the values of alarms.

Alarms are defined in the thing definition. You publish alarms either directly from a thing or through a trigger that listens to the data and triggers an alarm when required.

On the page of a specific alarm, you can see the alarm history in chart, timeline and table format. In each view, you can filter the data by specific dates. From the table view, you can download the alarm data in CSV format.

On the property page, you can see the relationship of the alarm to the corresponding property. For more information, see Viewing the Properties of a Thing. If the thing transmits location information, you can see the corresponding location information.

  1. On the thing details page, click the View icon of the alarm for which you want to view the history.

  2. (Optional) Select the Start and End dates to show a specific range of values.

    If no data appears between the default start and end dates, you need to select different dates.

  3. Select the Chart, Timeline, or Table tab to show the data in the format you want to see.

  4. To update the alarm value, click the Edit icon of the alarm you want to update.

  5. In the Publish Alarm window, update the state and the message, and then click Publish.

    If a trigger or thing updates the alarm value, it overrides the value you published.
