On this section of the SQL Safe Home tab, you can find a summary of your environment's alerts. SQL Safe groups these alerts by level of severity: OK (green), Informational (gray), Warning (yellow), Critical (red).
What actions can you perform on Alert Rules?
In each Alert rule, you can find the following options:
- Show Details - to view the complete list of instances or databases affected by the alert rule. Use the option Hide Details to display only the summarized form of the alert rule.
- Dismiss - to ignore the alert rule with their associated alerts.
- Refresh - to get the latest status of the alert rule.
What actions can you perform individually on each instance alert?
When you choose to Show Details of a specific alert rule, you can see all instances or databases associated with that specific alert rule. On each alert you can:
- Dismiss - to ignore the alert for that specific instance or database
- Refresh - to get the latest status of that specific alert
When you Dismiss an alert, it will not be displayed on the Home tab temporarily. SQL Safe will raise the alert when the alert rule condition triggers it again.
What other actions can you perform on the Alerts section?
SQL Safe allows you to perform the following actions on the Alerts section of the Home tab:
- Export - you can export your information in any of the following formats: PDF, XLS, or XML. Additionally, you can choose from one of the following options:
