   Not all alarms found during monitoring are necessary in managing your environment because they do not pose a security threat. It is common for low priority alarms to create noise, which can make it difficult to monitor alarms that require more attention. You can identify these alarms and suppress them by using a rule.

   The Alarms Details page includes alarm management functions that are supported for your assigned user role:

   * **Select Action**: See [Applying Actions to Alarms](/documentation/usm-anywhere/user-guide/alarms/actions-to-alarms) for more information.
   * **Create Rule**: See [Creating Rules from Alarms](/documentation/usm-anywhere/user-guide/alarms/creating-rules-from-alarms) for more information.
   * **Generate Report**: See [Create an Alarms Report](/documentation/usm-anywhere/user-guide/alarms/exporting-alarms) for more information.
   * **Was this alarm a true positive?:** Click the  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/levelblue-5324744e/3UO4A8nzRFe8dvdu/images/usm-anywhere/user-guide/alarms/thumbsup.webp?fit=max&auto=format&n=3UO4A8nzRFe8dvdu&q=85&s=593473747d99499f38e4d1bc8d80e558" className="inline m-0" width="20" height="20" data-path="images/usm-anywhere/user-guide/alarms/thumbsup.webp" /> or <img src="https://mintcdn.com/levelblue-5324744e/S2BPDnqpV9pd3fx-/images/usm-anywhere/user-guide/alarms/thumbsdown.webp?fit=max&auto=format&n=S2BPDnqpV9pd3fx-&q=85&s=ae61f9e90da380c310d1d6cc4dd3406b" className="inline m-0" width="20" height="20" data-path="images/usm-anywhere/user-guide/alarms/thumbsdown.webp" /> icon to apply an alarm outcome of True Positive or False Positive. If this alarm was a False Positive, select an optional reason from the drop-down list. Leave these icons unselected to retain a status of Undetermined.
