Description

A LEM Agent on a Windows computer generates several alerts during normal operations that we consider "noise alerts." Basically, these alerts represent background Windows functions, and they are not necessary for an optimized LEM deployment.

Procedure

The alerts described in the tables below can be disabled using your LEM Manager's Alert Distribution Policy by unchecking their boxes in the Console, Database, Warehouse, and Rules columns.

To modify your LEM Manager's Alert Distribution Policy:

1. Open your LEM Console and log into your LEM Manager from the Manage > Appliances view.
2. Click the gear icon next to your LEM Manager, and then select Policy.
3. Locate the alerts you want to disable by either browsing the alert taxonomy or using the search box under Refine Results.
   Note: You can locate these noise alerts by using the tables below.
4. Check or uncheck the boxes in the Console, Database, Warehouse, or Rules columns as appropriate.
   Notes:
   • Uncheck the Console box to prevent your LEM Manager from showing the alert in your LEM Console.
   • Uncheck the Database box to prevent your LEM Manager from storing the alert on your LEM database.
   • Uncheck the Warehouse box to prevent your LEM Manager from sending the alert to an independent database warehouse.
   • Uncheck the Rules box to prevent your LEM Manager from processing the alert against your LEM rules.
   • Check any box to enable processing for the alert at any of the four levels listed above.
5. If you want to save your changes and keep working, click Apply.
6. If you want to save your changes and exit the Alert Distribution Policy window, click Save.
