Alerts

Use this page to review event alarms generated by the database server and alerts generated by the Task Scheduler or by built-in tasks and sensors.

Alerts can be informative (for example, Backup Complete) or can indicate an error condition that requires your attention (for example, Unable to Allocate Memory). The color of the alert and the alert type combined indicated the importance of the alert. For example, an alert with the color green and the alert type Info provides information, but does not require action. An alert with the color red and the alert type Error indicates an emergency and requires immediate action.

To specify which alerts to display, select the alert color, type, and state.
