- More on why this alarm may happen on the Background tab.
- Suggestions for what to do next to resolve the alarm on the Suggestions tab.
Click Diagnose to open the most relevant Spotlight drilldown for further analysis of the data. Click Acknowledge to acknowledge the alarm. Click Snooze to snooze the alarm.
Where a chart is displayed, hover your mouse over the chart to see the chart legend and cartesian co-ordinates.
If you have a Spotlight Cloud Professional subscription and you click Diagnose then the drilldown page will open in the time period leading up to the time the alarm was raised. This time period will stick for any future monitoring screens you browse to for this connection until you change connections, change the time period or Reset to real time monitoring.
