SAP ASE Alerts

Lists and describes alerts you can configure for SAP ASE.

The alerts are based on the same key performance indicators (KPIs) that are collected for the performance and availability monitor displays and for the Statistics Chart.

All alerts are of type "Threshold", except for Resource State and RepAgent Thread State Change which are of type "State".
Note: When an alert is raised, the status bar displays an alert icon. To view the alert, click the Alerts tab on the Overview screen.
