DBAmon Event Notification

When DBAmon detects a condition that needs to be reported, an event is generated.

Each DBAmon task runs multiple monitoring iterations. During each iteration, it checks all metrics for all instances that are being monitored. If DBAmon detects an event where an identical event occured on the prior iteration, it will NOT perform duplicate notification. It will write a row to the event history data, but it will not notify. This is only true if the text of the event is identical to the text of the event that occured for the same instance on the prior iteration.

This page describes how the notification process works for each possible event severity:
