The DataMiner Analytics assigns an estimated likelihood or “alarm focus score” to each alarm, after analyzing the short-term history and current behavior of incoming alarms. The alarm focus score is based on a combination of likelihood, frequency, and severity.

Likelihood scores are used to spot daily patterns. If an alarm occurs at the same time every day, it will be assigned a high likelihood value at that time.

Frequency scores are used to detect parameters that frequently go into and out of alarm or alarms that persist over a long time.

Depending on the focus score, an alarm can be considered unexpected. In that case, this is indicated with the Focus icon.
