Feral or behaviorally challenged, barn cats are used to living primarily outside. Kitties like these cannot be adopted as--and do not want to be--traditional pets. As a result, they are often first to be euthanized at local animal control facilities. This is not the case in Austin, where local organization Austin Pets Alive! re-homes an average of 300 cats per year through its Barn Cat Program. The animals generally go to local farms, ranches and businesses. There is now a fast-moving waitlist of community members who want to adopt the poorly socialized felines. allows multiple simultaneous status indicators for each individual database, very similar to what you see in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. You can see the status of a database in the Servers tree by expanding the associated Server tree. The status displayed matches what is shown in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio in all cases where Management Studio displays a status.

Change the default alert status level
Alerting is based on the most critical status associated with a database at the time of collection.
Note that for certain metrics, using the informational alert means that you no longer receive a warning or critical alert for events generated by that metric. Please review the situation before setting up an informational alert.
To change the default alert status level:
- Right-click any server in the Servers tree.
- Select Configure Alerts.
- Select Database Status from the list of alerts.
- Double-click any of the values on the Configuration tab.
- Edit each alert to associate it with the desired alert status level.
