The Alert Manager (AM) automates the detection, classification & resolution of system and application events.

Applications may produce any number of logs, errors and output files. The operating system alone may generate thousands of messages every day. Often, serious production problems may be prevented if alerts are noticed and responded to in time.

AM is designed to solve this common problem. It monitors system elements, reads messages originating from various systems, modules and applications and funnels the information to a single terminal. Message filters assure that only important information is passed to the operator. Critical alerts cannot be ignored; messages will remain posted on the screen until the problem is attended to, acknowledged and given a proper entry by the operator.
