Managing Events and Alerts

An event is any significant action or occurrence in the system or in an application detected by a program that requires users to be notified. Managing the events that occur on a client is a key requirement to minimizing downtime of these computers. Event logging starts automatically each time the managed device is started. It permits to visualize the general state of a managed device, the pending alarms and any information regarding the agent installed on this client and the possibility to respond to these events.

In addition to the events CM has added the notion of alerts, which are events that the administrator needs to be made aware of immediately. Alerts are a specific type of events, that is, events for which a notification is sent to one or more administrators. The alert displays in the status bar in the form a yellow triangle alert.pngno matter which node the administrator is currently displaying and the number of new alerts are also displayed on the dashboard.
