View Alarm Details Using the CLI

You can view detailed information to help troubleshoot an alarm.

Procedure

• Use the following command to view details about an alarm.

  fm alarm-show <uuid>
  

  <uuid> is the ID of the alarm to query. Use the fm alarm-list to obtain UUIDs as described in Viewing Active Alarms Using the CLI.

  ~(keystone_admin)$ fm alarm-show 4ab5698a-19cb-4c17-bd63-302173fef62c

  The pair of attributes (alarm_id, entity_instance_id) uniquely identifies an active alarm:

  alarm_id

  An ID identifying the particular alarm condition. Note that there are some alarm conditions, such as administratively locked, that can be raised by more than one entity-instance-id.

  entity_instance_id

  Type and instance information of the object raising the alarm. A period-separated list of (key, value) pairs, representing the containment structure of the overall entity instance. This structure is used for processing hierarchical clearing of alarms.
