Database Management Technology

DBAnalyzer Sentinel is a background process which performs a series of system checks on a regular interval and raises alarms if conditions warrant.  A Sentinel configuration consists of a list of conditions to check and an execution schedule which defines when the Sentinel is to run.  Multiple Sentinel configurations can be started simultaneously.  For example you can create a Sentinel that checks a certain set of conditions during the typical workday, a different Sentinel for the overnight hours, and a third Sentinel for weekends.  Each of these Sentinels will start and stop automatically according to the defined execution schedule.

Sentinel Alarm Detection

Once started the Sentinel executes continuously as defined by the execution schedule.  Each alarm condition is checked as defined by the associated check frequency.
