The Alert Scheduler component allows you to define and schedule alerts that look for specific events, such as a database dropping off-line, log files containing key words indicating a problem, and drives where the available space falls below a certain percentage. For each of these events, you can define the related actions to take when this event occurs. For example, these actions could include sending an e-mail and page to the DBA. This component is completely extensible in that you can define your own events and related actions. The Alerts are then submitted and managed by CP Control.
