The Alarms object allows you to configure alarm parameters. The alarms are individually configurable. 

When viewing alarms from the CLI, the alarm timestamp is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) regardless of the time zone set on the system.

Link detection failure alarms are generated by Link Verification Manager (LVM) and are raised only when LVM is configured. NRS generated alarms are raised regardless of whether LVM is configured.  

Most alarms do not require any user configuration and hence are not included in this section. See SBC Core Alarms Guide for a complete listing of alarms, events and/or trap details.
