About Alarms
Alarms provide information about the Cisco Unified CCX system activities. You can use this 
information to monitor the status and the state of the system and to determine actions to take if a problem 
occurs. By default, the Cisco Unified CCX system also writes alarm information to trace files. You can 
use the information in a trace file for further analysis of a problem. 
Cisco Unified CCX Alarm Service
The Cisco Unified CCX Alarm Service is installed as part of the Cisco Unified CCX installation process. 
The Cisco Unified CCX Alarm Service is a Windows service that receives alarms about system events 
from the Cisco Unified CCX Engine, Cisco Unified CCX Node Manager, Cisco Unified CCX 
Administration, Cisco Unified CCX Repository datastore, Cisco Unified CCX Historical datastore, 
Cisco Unified CCX Config datastore, Cisco Unified CCX Agent datastore, Cisco Recording, and Cisco 
Monitoring components. These alarms are defined in XML format in files called catalogs. Catalogs are 
set up as part of the Cisco Unified CCX installation process.
