Responding to Alerts

Alerts are automatically posted to the main console in the appropriate data tree, and if set, they are also sent to an email address. To investigate the alert further, double-click on the individual alert listed in the data tree in the main console window to open a window containing metric information for that particular alert.

The following information is specific for each alert type.Abnormal Thread Termination Alert

HPjmeter detects threads that terminate abnormally because of an uncaught exception.

By default, when HPjmeter detects that one thread (or more) terminated abnormally, the console main window displays an Abnormal Thread Termination Alert.

Double-clicking on the alert in the main window displays the uncaught exception window. The window shows:
