Viewing Alerts
The Alerts Manager allows you to view current metric threshold violations in your network. These on-going violations are called active alerts.
The alerts manager lets you see the active alert aggregated to:
• Alert Severity
• Total Objects that are experiencing active threshold violations
• Alert Profiles that have active threshold violations
The Alerts Manager shows all events and alerts for your infrastructure as they occur in real time. The alert counts on the Active Alerts banner are instantaneous counts and are independent of the respective page’s Time Range selector. From this top-level view, you can filter the alerts to see only certain alert severities, narrow the view to particular objects of interest, or examine a specific time window.
NetIM views syslog and traps differently than metric threshold violations. For more information, see
