Chapter 3. Alert Flows

This chapter covers alert generation and alert forwarding within Windows NT by

looking at two different methods:

•

Alerts generated by TME 10 NetFinity

•

Alerts generated by Windows NT Performance Monitor

3.1 Alerts by TME 10 NetFinity

Within TME 10 NetFinity, multiple services have the capability to generate alerts

and forward them to the TME 10 NetFinity Alert Manager. Every service acts as

an agent on the supervised system and generates the alert depending on the

alert condition configuration. The Alert Manager collects the alerts and handles

them according to the alert profiles.

3.1.1 Alert Manager

The Alert Manager receives and collects the alerts from different TME 10

NetFinity Services running on the local or remote systems. Depending in the

defined actions, the alerts are forwarded, displayed or logged to the system logs.

Figure 122. Alert Manager

The Alert Manager lets you see the received alerts, browse through the alert log,

delete alerts, print alerts to printer or to a file.

For defining profiles refer to 3.2.2, “Alert Profiles” on page 99.

For defining actions refer to 3.2.4, “Alert Actions” on page 100.
