Managing Active Directory Health Analyzer alerts
If you know about an upcoming maintenance to the system or some other event that may cause a lot of unnecessary alerts, you can mute the collection of alerts. During the mute period, no alerts are collected into the Active Administrator® database and no alert notifications are sent. If you forget to remove the mute, the mute is cleared automatically after one hour.
NOTE: If you have a license for the Active Directory Health module, you can forward the Active Directory Health alerts generated by Active Directory Health Analyzer agents to Microsoft® System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) and SNMP managers. These alerts will appear in the Quest Alert Events view, under the Quest Active Administrator folder in the Operations Manager Monitoring pane and in the SNMP Manager. See Connecting to System Center Operations Manager and Enabling SNMP Notifications and Pushing alerts to System Center Operations Manager and SNMP managers.
Setting alerts
You can enable, disable, and edit alerts for a selected monitored domain controller, domain, forest, or site, or for all monitored domain controllers, domains, forests or sites. To see a list of the alerts that you can manage and the corresponding data collector that captures the data for the alert, see the Alerts Appendix.
You also can attach a remediation action to an alert. Remediations are actions that run when an alert reaches its critical threshold. There are several built-in remediation actions that you can choose or you can create custom remediations. All remediations are stored in the Remediation Library. See Managing the Remediation Library.
