The Alert Monitor provides an integrated, correlated event notification system that indicates to operators that a problem has occurred and that some action needs to be taken. Such alerts, known as active alerts, are displayed on the Alert Monitor.
The Alert Monitor refreshes your screen each time an alert arrives. The clock in the title line indicates when the screen was refreshed last.
The title line of the Alert Monitor includes a total indicator, which shows the total number of alerts and the total number of alerts of each severity level. For example, (43: 5 23 8 7) means that there are a total of 43 alerts, comprising 5 severity one, 23 severity two, 8 severity three, and 7 severity four. Each severity level appears in a different color. The following illustration shows an example:

The Alert Monitor can initiate actions such as starting recovery procedures and creating trouble tickets, either automatically or manually.
In a multisystem environment, you can monitor active alerts from all linked regions in a focal point region. You can monitor only local active alerts in a subordinate region.
Alerts that were raised before the region was shut down are not displayed on the Alert Monitor when the region restarts, but are displayed on the Alert History panel. The alert history contains information about all alerts.
