Event rules
The event manager monitors the health, status, and activity of the Netezza Performance Server system operation and can act when a specific event occurs. Event monitoring is a proactive way to manage the system without continuous human observation.
You can configure the event manager to continually watch for specific conditions such as system state changes, hardware restarts, faults, or failures. In addition, the event manager can watch for conditions such as reaching a certain percentage of full disk space, queries that have run for longer than expected, and other Netezza Performance Server system behaviors.
This section describes how to administer the Netezza Performance Server system by using event rules that you create and manage.
