How does the Sybase_MDA agent "Database Error Log" rule work? (4308092)

The Database_Error_Log rule reports the messages in the ASE error log matching the patterns in the Log Filter List (or Message Trap List) in the agent property. If Warning or Critical messages are detected, the rule sends an email to the database administrator the total numbers of Warning and Critical messages. The alarm message indicates the name of the Adaptive Server, the number of instances with the related error number, the severity level (Warning or Critical) and the current state of the Adaptive Server.

This rule fires when messages are written to the ASE error log since the last collection cycle after meeting a set of user-specified filter patterns. When receiving an alert, the database administrator should review the server's error log and decide how to resolve the problem.
