The Alert Viewer shows the contents of the CMDB hierarchically ordered in a navigation tree in the left panel and the RTView Alerts Table in the main panel.
Use the Owner, Area, Group and Environment drop-down menus to populate the navigation tree nodes. Use the navigation tree nodes to filter alerts shown in the table. The Alerts Table only shows alerts associated with the navigation tree node you select.
Each node in the tree has an indicator that is green when the node has no associated alerts, or red when the node has one or more associated alerts. Service name labels are appended with the Environment and number of alerts. For example, the following illustrates that the TBE Service currently has no (0) associated alerts in the PRODUCTION Environment.
Clear CMDB Filter clears the filter on the RTView Alerts Table.
You can deploy the Alert Viewer in the Display Viewer or the Thin Client.
To run the Alert Viewer in the Display Viewer, use the -panelconfig:rtv_alert_panels.xml command line argument. It is pre-configured for you in the projects\emsample\servers directory. In that directory, type: start_rtv alert-viewer
To run the Alert Viewer in the Thin Client, modify the index.html file, located in the emsample\webapps directory. Open the index.html file in a text editor, replace rtv_appmon_panels.xml with rtv_alert_panels.xml, then rebuild and redeploy the war file as usual.
