## Alarm Configuration

The Alarm Configuration application allows you to configure software alarms for multiple sources and measurements. Each alarm configuration is represented as an Alarm Rule. The rule includes a threshold value, pickup and dropout delays, an update rate, and the alarm priority.

### Starting Alarm Configuration

To use the Alarm Configuration application, either click Alarm Configuration in Tools menu in Management Console, or open the component, click the Alarms icon, then click the Alarm Configuration link.

See Alarm Configuration Help, available from the Alarm Configuration application, for information about creating, configuring, and enabling alarm rules.
