The eLynx Alarm Dashboard provides insight into how notifications are generated by the Alarm Setpoints configured within your organization. This allows users to identify common problems such as noisy alarms and alarm fatigue then take corrective actions to ensure your field personnel are efficiently focused on those items truly needing attention.

Permission Requirements: Users must be configured with Alarm Modify permissions to access the Alarm Dashboard. Please contact your organization's eLynx Administrator or eLynx Support if you need assistance.

Navigate to the Administration menu

Click on the Administration menu (wrench icon) in the eLynx Navigation menu (left side of page).
Click the Alarm Dashboard menu option to open the Alarm Dashboard page.

Alarm Dashboard Page

Upon opening, the Alarm Dashboard page will display the last 24 hours of activity related to alarm setpoints, notifications and recipients including:

Top 5 Alarm Setpoints (upper left of page) - Pie chart showing which Alarm Setpoints in your organization have generated the greatest number of Notifications and the relative proportion to one another.
Top 5 Alarm Objects (upper center of page) - Pie chart showing which Devices or Wells in your organization have generated the greatest number of Notifications due to Alarm Setpoints and the relative proportion to one another.
Top 5 Alarm Recipients (upper right of page) - Pie chart showing which Recipients in your organization have received the greatest number of Notifications and the relative proportion to one another.
Notifications by Type (bottom half of page) - Line chart showing Notifications activity for each of the different Notification Types (i.e., Text, Email and Voice).

How to Change Duration

By default the Alarm Dashboard page displays the last 24 hours of activity on the various graphs. This value can be changed using the Duration dropdown (upper right of page) from which several options are available:

24 hours
3 days
7 days
30 days
Custom duration

When the Custom value is selected for Duration, a dialog is displayed which allows the user to define a custom date range by inputting a Start Date and End Date. Calendar controls are used to allow the user to easily select the date and time.

How to Filter by Notification Type

By default the Alarm Dashboard page displays information for all three Notification Types:

Text
Email
Voice

The Notification Types Filter dropdown (upper right of page) may be used to toggle the graphs to display only the selected Notification Type(s).

How to Interact with Charts - Mouse-hover

Each of the charts is interactive and supports the ability to hover the mouse over data points to view their values. On the pie charts, hovering over a pie slice will highlight the corresponding data value row underneath.

Alarm Detail Dashboard

Each of the charts is interactive and supports the ability to click the chart to view the underlying data values. By clicking on a slice or line item, you are taken to the Alarm Detail Dashboard filtered to only those alarms that are associated with your selection, whereas clicking the More Info link within each pie chart will open an Alarm Detail Dashboard unfiltered. Both will show the following:

Full ranking of respective values (i.e., beyond the Top 5) on the left side of the page (when filtered, your selection is indicated by a gray bound box)
Tabular grid displaying detailed data elements for the respective Alarm Setpoints, Notifications or Recipients on the right side of the page. When filtered this list is paired down to those that apply to the selection on the left-hand side of the screen.
Clicking an item in the full ranking list (left side of page) will filter the corresponding details in the tabular grid (right side of page)
Each of the tabular reports may be sorted by clicking the respective column headers.
