Alerts
When an object fails or experiences an error, an alert icon appears on the object and the
object state usually changes to an unhealthy state. The unhealthy object also appears in
the Alert Monitor window, which summarizes the problem and indicates whether any
associated objects have problems. When an object enters an unhealthy state and has an
alert, you should review the contents of the Alert Monitor window and then try to correct
the problem. For more information about an object listed in the Alert Monitor window,
review the object Properties window.
❖ To display the Alert Monitor window, click the Alert button in the toolbar.
❖ To view the properties of an object listed in the Alert Monitor window, select the
object and choose Object Properties from the Alert or popup menu. You can also
access object properties by double-clicking on the object.
