Viewing alerts

Active Directory Health Analyzer alerts have two levels of severity: warning and critical. As a situation escalates, a warning alert is generated, indicating that a lower priority threshold has been violated. As the severity of the error increases, a critical alert is generated, indicating that the higher priority threshold has been exceeded. A number of attributes can be customized for each of these levels, including the threshold value, duration before an alert occurs and duration before an alert clears. See the Active Directory Health chapter in the Quest® Active Administrator® User Guide.

You can view alerts in two formats: grid view or table view. Grid view provides several details in a quick view. Table view lets you see several alerts at a time and you can select to view the details of a selected alert. Alerts update every minute, but you can manually refresh the display.

Current alerts display in grid view by default. Critical alerts are indicated in red and appear at the top of the list. Warning alerts are indicated in yellow and appear after the critical alerts. As alerts are cleared, they disappear from the list. You can view the cleared alert on the Alert History tab. See Viewing alert history.

For alerts you want to monitor more closely, you can pin them to the top of the list. You also can see which alerts are causing the most issues in the Linked Alerts area.

To pin an alert
•
Display the alerts in grid view, and click the pin in the alert heading.
The alert moves to the Pinned Alerts area and remains there until you click the X in the alert heading. If you switch to table view, the pinned alerts remain in grid view.
Linked alerts

The area on the left of the display show a summary of the alerts to help you determine which alerts are causing the most issues. You can collapse or expand the list to fit your needs. To quickly see details on the alert, start typing the alert name in the Filter alert names box.

The Linked Alerts to Active Directory Objects list displays a summary of the alerts for each of the types of Active Directory® objects. The number next to the alert indicates the number of occurrences of the alert for all objects. The percentage indicates the percentage of the total number of alerts for all objects.

The Linked Domain Controllers to Alerts, Linked Domains to Alerts, Linked Forests to Alerts, and Linked Sites to Alerts display each Active Directory object with the alerts.
