Use the Alert Center to work with alerts generated in DB2.
The Alert Center opens when a database object switches from a normal state
to a warning state or from a warning state to an alarm state. An object
in a normal state does not appear in the Alert Center. The actions of
the Alert Center are based on the settings specified on the Alert Center page and Node Status
page of the Tools Settings notebook.
Alerts are generated by:
-
The performance monitor, when a performance variable reaches a warning or alarm threshold, an alert is generated and an
icon representing the monitored database object is displayed in the Alert
Center. Click mouse button 2 on the object and select Performance
Monitoring --> Show Monitor Activity to view performance details
view for that database object.
-
Nodes that are that are down or in an unknown
state generate alerts. A node that is down is represented by a
black node icon. A node in an unknown state is represented by a light
gray node icon.
