Alerts

Alerts provide proactive notification of performance-related network events. An alert can optionally be raised if a monitored attribute exceeds a user-specified threshold value or the calculated baseline, and is automatically closed when the threshold is no longer exceeded.

Alerts are also raised by event detectors when a particular event occurs, for example, the availability of a listener port or the occurrence of an FTP failure.

Note: For information about defining monitoring thresholds and event detectors, see the Implementation Guide.
