Alert Messages
Event Manager goes beyond the limited alerting capabilities built-in to SQL Server, Oracle, and Windows Task Scheduler with messages that include granular, detail-level information. Event Manager alerts contain more of the information you need to quickly evaluate and resolve any job condition, which can dramatically reduce response times.
Supported Alerts:
• Step-level output
• Error codes and descriptions
• Job and performance condition data
• Start / End times
• Job duration
• "Other Active Jobs" list
• Blocking processes, SQL statements,
hostnames and applications
Sample Email Alerts:
