Organization of this subsection
  (1) Checking notification alerts
  (2) Setting the alerts to be notified of

#### (1) Checking notification alerts

The Notification Alert window displays alerts for which notification is sent. Sometimes there might be many alerts, and it might be difficult to distinguish alerts that have been handled from alerts that have not been handled or to identify the types of alerts that require actions. Therefore, it is important to distinguish alerts that have been handled from alerts that have not been handled.

To distinguish between confirmed alerts and unconfirmed alerts:

1. In the Notification Alert window, select the alerts that you with to have shown as confirmed.
   You can select multiple alerts.
2. From the Check menu, choose Check.
   The confirmation status of each selected alert changes to Finished.

If you have confirmed all notification alerts (or if you wish to set all notification alerts to confirmed status), you can choose Check all from the Check menu. To delete a selected alert, choose Delete from the Check menu. Note that you can delete an alert only if its confirmation status is Finished.

#### (2) Setting the alerts to be notified of

If all alerts that occur at all servers are sent routinely to the management console, the handling of serious alerts might be delayed. The console service enables you to set an action to be taken automatically at the source server in the event of an alert. You can also filter notification alerts so that only specified alerts are reported. For details about specifying these settings, see 6.7 Setting an action at a server in the event of an alert or 6.8 Filtering alert notifications.
