In the list frame

Select either Alerts or Resources from among the console's menu bar categories to display specific resource alert details in the list frame. Note that regardless of which of these two options you use, alerts display in association with a specific resource as identified by the resource naming convention, container name:resource name.

Selecting the Alerts category

Figure 2–4 shows the contents of the list frame when you select Alerts on the menu bar. Icons related to an alert's severity level appear to the left of each resource name and a brief alert message appears to the right.

The list frame supports ToolTips. ToolTips display summarized details about an alert. (Each alert's complete contents can be displayed on the Alert details Summary page by clicking the resource name in the list frame). When you place your cursor over an alert icon displayed in the Alerts list frame, summarized alert message details appear after a few moments. Figure 2–5 shows the contents of an alert icon in the Alerts view of the list frame.

The first alert in the list frame also simultaneously displays its alert detailed information in the detail frame. See the "The detail frame" section for more information.

You can sort alerts by Severity, Resource Name, Alert Name, or Last Date. Use the drop-down menu in the Sort by field to change the sort criteria.

Selecting the Resources category

Figure 2–6 shows the contents of the list frame when you select Resources on the menu bar. Icons related to an alert's severity level appear to the left of resource names.

The figure also shows ToolTip information. Placing your cursor over an alert icon in the Name category of the Resource view in the list frame displays details related to the number of alerts and number of unseen alerts for a resource.

If you stop and restart OpenEdge Management, the outstanding alerts list clears. This same alert information cannot be reloaded. However, if the conditions that originally triggered the alerts still exist when OpenEdge Management restarts, new alerts are generated.

Note: Resource changes can happen very quickly, and the information contained in the Alerts list and the Alerts Detail Summary page represents the operational status of your system at the moment the information was collected. Click Refresh as you view alert details to ensure that you are reviewing the most current information.

For detailed information about each alert, see Chapter 3, "Alerts Reference."
