IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

SET ALERTUPDATEINTERVAL (Set how often the alert monitor updates and prunes alerts)

Use this command to specify how often the alert monitor updates and prunes alerts that are stored in the Tivoli® Storage Manager server database.

During this check interval, the alert monitor examines each alert on the server and completes the following actions:

The alert monitor determines whether the active or inactive durations elapsed. If the specified duration elapses, the alert status is updated to the next state. For example:
- Active to Inactive
- Inactive to Closed
If an alert is closed for the duration that is specified by the SET ALERTCLOSEDDURATION command, the alert is deleted.

You can use the QUERY MONITORSETTINGS command to determine whether alert monitoring is on. Use the SET ALERTMONITOR command to turn on alert monitoring.
