This chapter describes tasks for alert management.
About alert management
Replication Manager can send an alert when a monitored target, such as a copy pair or buffer,
satisfies a preset condition. The conditions that can be set include: thresholds for copy pair statuses,
performance information, and copy license usage. You can specify a maximum of 1,000 conditions.
Alert notification is useful for enabling a quick response to a hardware failure or for determining the
cause of a degradation in transfer performance. Alert notifications are also useful for preventing
errors due to buffer overflow and insufficient copy licenses. Because you can receive alerts by email
or SNMP traps, you can also monitor the replication environment while you are logged out of
Replication Manager.
