Reducing Duplicate Alerts

In certain situations, a large number of alerts can be generated in a short period of time. For example, a system goes down and messages are repeatedly attempted to be processed.

You can use a property to reduce the number of alerts that appear. The property value is expressed in milliseconds. The default value is 5000, which equals 5 seconds. If multiple instances of an alert arrive during this period of time, then only one instance of the alert will appear.

A string is added to the beginning of the alert details field. The string indicates the number of duplicate alerts that were processed. For example:

[3x] Collaboration CMap1_jcdFileToJMS1 is RUNNING

To Reduce Duplicate Alerts

1. Open the monitor.properties file in the JavaCAPS-install-dir/emanager/server/conf directory.

2. Change the value of the timeInCache property to the desired number of milliseconds.

3. Save the monitor.properties file.

4. Restart the Enterprise Manager server.
