Displaying system alerts

You can use both the web console and CLI to monitor alerts for Cloud Pak for Data System.

Procedure

Use one of the following approaches:

Use the web console:
- On the main page, view the number of issues and events in the top right corner. When you click on the icons the Notifications tab opens.
- On the main page, click Monitor > System.
In the Notifications tab, you can use the drop down list and filter the results by alert type and its state. You can also mark a specific alert and click the View details button to view more information.
Use the ap command:
- ap issues displays all open issues.
- ap events or ap issues -e displays all events.
- ap issues -c displays all closed issues.
- ap issues <ID> displays details for the issue or event with a given ID
Note that you can set the time frame for which to display the alerts by using the following parameters with ap issues and ap events:
```
--from <time>
--to <time>
```
where the <time> value can be provided in three forms:
- ```
--from YYYY-MM-DD-hh:mm
--to YYYY-MM-DD-hh:mm
```
  where YYYY-MM-DD-hh:mm is date and time.
- ```
--from YYYY-MM-DD
--to YYYY-MM-DD
```
  where YYYY-MM-DD is a date. In this case, the start time is assumed to be 00:00:00 and the end time is 23:59:59.
- ```
--from -N
--to -N
```
  where N is a number of days before the current date, so, for example, --from -32 sets the start date to 32 days before the current date. The starts time is assumed to be 00:00:00 and the end time is 23:59:59.

Example output:

ap issues 1001
