Each entry in the Alerts window represents an alert condition. The condition can be detected by an Operations Sentinel client application, an Operations Sentinel agent, or by a program that sends an alert event report to the Operations Sentinel server. An alert condition remains until it is cleared.
If you open a different zone in Operations Sentinel Console, the Alerts window automatically changes to display the alerts in the selected zone.
See About Alerts for more information on alert conditions.
