How to Resolve Alerts
Applies To: System Center 2012 - Operations Manager
[This topic is pre-release documentation and is subject to change in future releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]
The Operations Manager class libraries can be used to view and update the properties of operations data. For example, you can change the resolution state of one or more alerts.
Example
The following example demonstrates how to set the resolution state of database monitoring alerts in the Operations Manager database. The example selects only those alerts that are related to the database's availability health. The example then checks the resolution state of each alert that is found; if the resolution state is not already set to "Closed," the example changes the alert's resolution state and adds a comment to the alert's history.
