The Alerts view is automatically displayed when a critical system (Error or Fatal) alert is received. By default, the Alerts view is displayed under the runtime views, next to the Job Alerts view. Alert severity is broken down into four categories:
•Informational (containing Info, Debug, and Trace)
•Warning
•Error
•Fatal
An example of an Informational alert is when an Peer Agent connects to the Peer Management Broker. If a Peer Agent's network connection is severed, then an Error alert will be logged. All alerts are also logged to the file hub_alert.log, available under the Hub\logs subdirectory within the Peer Management Center installation directory.
You can filter alerts based on host name, severity level, or type, and you can sort alerts by clicking on a specific column header. You can also clear all alerts in the table by clicking the Clear Alerts link.
Displaying the Alerts View
You can open the Alerts view at any time by clicking the View Alerts button located on the Peer Management Center toolbar or by selecting the Window menu, then the Show View submenu, followed by the View Alerts menu item. You can close the Alerts view at any time by clicking on the X (Close) button on the Alerts tab.
You can resize the Alerts view by dragging the separator between the upper view and the Alerts view, or you can double-click the Alerts tab to maximize the view. You can restore the view to its original, non-maximized size by double-clicking the Alerts tab again.
