Alerter Service

SunLink Server software includes an Alerter service that you can use to notify specified users of the occurrence of a particular event. An administrator should use this service in order to make server problems known immediately. Prompt action to resolve server problems often can minimize their effect. The following examples illustrate situations that could generate alerts:

• The number of server errors exceeds a threshold set in the SunLink Server Registry.

• The number of bad access attempts exceeds a threshold set in the SunLink Server Registry.

• The number of bad password attempts exceeds a threshold set in the SunLink Server Registry.

• Errors were encountered during start of the Net Logon service.

• A printer is malfunctioning.

• A print request has been deleted or completed.
