- Note:
-
Depending on the timing of the display of the Application Status report (real-time report) from the Event Monitor, or the display of the Application Process Status report (real-time report) from the Application Status report, once the alarm status has returned to normal you may not be able to identify the process or service of concern in these real-time reports. In such a case, browse the Event Monitor or Application Process Count report (historical reports) to check for changes in status following the occurrence of the alarm.
