Implemented

Alert creation allows you to choose whether to run against either assigned monitored database instances or the DPA repository.

Run custom alerts against the repository without having to choose an arbitrary instance

I would like to be able to run a custom alert against the repository without having to choose a database instance.

This is how the custom alert is delivered currently:

SUBJECT

Ignite Alert Notification: Check Status of ENABLE_SQLSTATS (QAFFI2_QARACDB2.FFI.EXPERTCITY.COM) - HIGH

BODY

Alert: Check Status of ENABLE_SQLSTATS

Database Instance: QAFFI2_QARACDB2.FFI.EXPERTCITY.COM

Execution Time: Wednesday - November 26, 2014 09:50:27

View Alert Status: http://omsrac1.qai.expertcity.com:8123/iwc/alertMain.iwc

Alert Parameters:

  Description: Check for ENABLE_SQLSTATS

The following instance(s) have incorrect setting for ENABLE_SQLSTATS.

Parameter: ENABLE_SQLSTATS have been disabled on instance EMREP1_OMSRAC1.QAI.EXPERTCITY.COM

                Value: 1

As you can see the subject and body contains references to the instance QAFFI2_QARACDB2.FFI.EXPERTCITY.COM, but the actual instance showing the error is EMREP1_OMSRAC1.QAI.EXPERTCITY.COM.  This is confusing.

The custom alert if ran against the repository should not require a instance to be chosen.  I would like the alert to look something like the following:

SUBJECT

Check Status of ENABLE_SQLSTATS  - HIGH

BODY

Execution Time: Wednesday - November 26, 2014 09:50:27

View Alert Status: http://omsrac1.qai.expertcity.com:8123/iwc/alertMain.iwc

Alert Parameters:

  Description: Check for ENABLE_SQLSTATS

The following instance(s) have incorrect setting for ENABLE_SQLSTATS.

Parameter: ENABLE_SQLSTATS have been disabled on instance EMREP1_OMSRAC1.QAI.EXPERTCITY.COM

                Value: 1

This includes no unnecessary references to other instances and the details can be quickly determined.
