If you specify Do not notify for selected alerts (in units of alerts), the applicable alerts are ignored by all alert-related functions. They are not recorded in any log files, such as the alert and event logs. On the other hand, if you specify Do not notify when the setting was by alert level, the applicable alerts are not sent to the console service or other programs nor are they sent by email, but they are recorded in log files, such as the alert and event logs. The server action settings for alerts are in effect. The following table describes the applicability of failure management functions depending on the setting (in units of alerts or by alert level).
