Abstract

An alarm correlation method with rules and model is disclosed for suppression of alarms which will clear when another alarm clears. The alarm correlation method with rules and model includes a list of objects which alarms may be raised, and a list of correlation rules for each of the objects which associates objects which have correlated alarms, and a method of traversing the lists so that correlated alarms may be suppressed. The alarm correlation method with rules and model is particularly useful for overcoming operator overload due to the presence of multiple correlated alarms.
