The Alert Rules tab in IDERA SQL Compliance Manager tab allows you to create new alert rules and manage existing alert rules. An alert rule is a set of criteria that determines when an alert should be generated as the Collection Server processes SQL Server events collected from your audited instances. Use alert rules to detect events that occur on specific databases, users, or instances.
