Alert Replication

Alert Replication helps with replication of alerts.

• When the updates to the alerts at the DM are replicated to the EM by the engine, new alerts are not created as part of replication. The alerts are created at the EM only through alert forwarding at the DM with appropriate filters.
• Before the Engine replicates an alert to the EM, Engine checks if the alert exists. When an alert is not found, the engine does not replicate the alert upwards. When an alert is deleted at the DM, the corresponding alert at the EM is deleted.
• When a DM is unlinked from an EM, the following managed configuration policy parameter controls whether all the alerts with domain_uuid of that DM are left at the EM or deleted. On such deletions, the engine does not re-replicate alerts from the DM to the EM. This behavior is a limitation when the DM is re-linked to the EM.

To edit the parameter that controls the deletion of the alerts of a particular domain on unlinking the domain from the EM, navigate to Control Panel, Configuration, Configuration Policy, Default Computer Policy, DSM, Manager, Engines, Delete replicated Alerts on unlinking. And set the value to True, on unlinking a DM, the replicated alerts from the DM are deleted at the EM.
