Figure 4.8 – Data server status details
Figure 4.8 also shows the list of individual alerts for the Data Server Status category. The
Data Server Status is a special category that represents the status of the monitored
database. It displays the status as green when the database is available and reachable.
The Start Time and End Time columns show when the alerts originated, and if and when
they ended. An alert without an end time indicates that the problem is still ongoing. In the
example above, the alert is caused because the database is quiesced. When the database
is unquiesced, the next monitoring cycle for this database will identify this situation, and the
critical alert will be closed.
4.5.2 Displaying a tabular listing of alerts on the Alert List page
While the Health Summary page provides an aggregated view, the Alerts List page
provides a detailed view of the individual alerts and lets you review either recent alerts or
even go back in tie using a historical view.
There are two ways to open the Alert List page:
• From the Open menu, select Health -> Alerts.
• From the Health Summary page, double click the alert icon, and from detailed alert
status click the Open Full List button (circled in Figure 4.8).
A sample Alerts List page is shown in Figure 4.9. From this page, you can configure health
alerts, configure to send alerts by e-mail, and add comments to alerts.
