To append to what Mike wrote, after Spectrum is a Data Source, Spectrum creates a IP Domain Global Collection for each IP Domain in PC.
Be sure to discover the same devices in Spectrum and add the device(s) to the same IP Domain GC that aligns to the IP Domain the DA device is in.
When the DA/Spectrum device are consolidated, then threshold events should create Alarms in Spectrum on the same device/interface.
Check the CAPC_Item_ID attribute on the device and/or interface Spectrum model to make sure it's filled in. It it's 0, then no event/alarm will be sent to that device.
The Alarm Console will show all alarms in Spectrum based on landscape group, but will only link to the PC device/interface item if the alarm is on a synced Spectrum device/interface.

Eshwar,
A few additional tips that I hope clear some things up.
PM only raises Events. It doesn't raise Alarms.
PM when integrated with Spectrum sends its Threshold Event Events to Spectrum to raise as Alarms.
The PM Alarm Views are only for displaying Spectrum Alarms but we first have to add Spectrum as a Data Source in the PM Portal to integrate the two before those will work.
More information about the integration between the two products is found in the Integrate with DX NetOps Spectrum for Fault Management section of the PM documentation.

Hi Folks,
We are monitoring some devices from the monitoring profile. since we created threshold profiles based on the threshold values. and assigned threshold to our monitoring profiles. Events are generating fine based on the threshold profile but events are not transforming as a alarms and we couldn't see any alarms in the alarms view. Please suggest to get the alarms for my thresholds. However, how to send alarms from PM to Spectrum if integration done between them?
