Incident

Description

This metric category contains the metrics representing incidents, for example, generic internal error, access violation, and so on as recorded in the database alert log file. The alert log file has a chronological log of messages and errors.

Each metric signifies that the database being monitored has detected a critical error condition about the database and has generated an incident to the alert log file since the last sample time. The Support Workbench in Enterprise Manager contains more information about each generated incident.
