Management Studio's Alerts screen

The Management Studio's Alerts screen is helpful to see the alerts sent from the RavenDB server. At the time of writing this book, in the RavenDB v2.0.0 Build 2372 only errors in periodic backups will send alerts. If you need to track a specific alert sent by the RavenDB server, you may choose it in the table and mark it as Observed and make it Unobserved when there is no more need to track it.

You may use the Alerts screen's toolbar buttons to perform these actions:

  • Hide/Show Observed: This button will toggle on mouse click between Show Observed and Hide Observed, this will determine whether the observed alerts will be shown or not.
  • Mark as Observed: This button will mark all the current alerts as Observed.
  • Mark as Unobserved: This button will mark all the current alerts as Unobserved.
  • Delete All Observed: This button will remove all the observed items from the list.
  • Refresh from server: This button will refresh the alerts table from database. All the changes in the alerts list have to be saved to the server before using this action otherwise these changes will be lost.
  • Save Changes: This button will update the list in the server according to the changes you have made.
