Viewing Application Alerts

Every time an active rule with the Application Alert action is triggered, the corresponding alert is added to the Trigger Alerts window. The list of triggered application alerts is reset every time you restart JDK Mission Control.

To open the Trigger Alerts window, do one of the following:

• Open the Window menu and select Alerts.

• Connect the JMX Console to any JVM, open the Triggers tab, and click Alerts.

The Trigger Alerts window lists all application alerts that have been triggered for a JVM since JDK Mission Control was started and connected to the JVM. The list of alerts contains the following columns:

• Date: The date when the alert was triggered.

• Time: The time when the alert was triggered.

• Rule: The name of the rule that triggered the alert.

• Source: The name of the JVM connection for which the alert was triggered as displayed in the JVM Browser. For remote JVM connections, this field contains the IP address and port number.

When you select an alert in the list, its details are displayed in the field under the list. Different information is displayed depending on the selected action event.

Use the Show dialog on alerts check box to toggle whether you want the Trigger Alerts window to open whenever an application alert is triggered.

To clear the list of triggered application alerts, click Clear. Alternatively, the list is cleared whenever you restart JDK Mission Control.
