Configuring the Alert Monitor › Alerts

Alerts

An alert is a notification of a fault. Alerts can come from multiple LPARs, different CA NetMaster products, and external products. The alert monitor provides a consolidated, dynamic display of alerts. From the alert monitor, you can close and update alerts, and obtain details about affected resources.

When you implement your product, you must decide how you want to be notified of an alert. You can do the following:

• Watch the alert monitor and manually administer the alert, for example, close the alert, change the severity, raise a trouble ticket.
• Watch the IP node monitor and IP resource monitor and when you see that a node or a resource has an alert, use the AL line command to display it.
• Send an alert to an external product.
• Send alert details to an email address, to an NCL procedure, a TSO or CA NetMaster broadcast message, or to a WTO.
