You can export alarms to an XML file and import alarms from an .XML file. Exporting and importing alarms can be useful if you need to back up you alarm settings, or if you want to copy alarm settings from one Veeam ONE deployment to another.
To export alarms to an .XML file:
- At the bottom of the inventory pane, click Alarm Management.
- In the alarm management tree, select the type of infrastructure object for which you want to export alarms.
- Right-click the object and choose Alarms > Export Alarms from the shortcut menu.
- Save the .XML file with alarm settings.
To import alarms from an .XML file:
- At the bottom of the inventory pane, click Alarm Management.
- In the alarm management tree, right-click any object and choose Import Alarms from the shortcut menu.
- In the Alarms Import window:
- Specify path to an .XML file with alarm settings.
- Select the Import assignment check box if you want to import a list of alarms together with their assignment settings
- Select the Replace all existing alarms check box if you want to replace existing alarms with imported alarms.
If you do not select this check box but during import Veeam ONE detects alarms with matching names, Veeam ONE Monitor will suggest you to update settings of an existing alarm with data from the .XML file. You can either replace an existing alarm with the alarm from the .XML file, or leave the existing alarm without any changes.
If an alarm in the .XML file does not match any existing alarm by name, Veeam ONE Monitor will create a new alarm.
- When the process is finished, the Alarm Import window will display a report with import status, the total number of added, replaced and skipped alarms and the number of alarms that were imported with errors.
