Viewing and Managing System Notifications
At login, an alert indicator notifies the Administrator to any APTARE IT Analytics issues that require attention. This is shown as a badge on the main toolbar. You can click the badge to launch the System Notifications window or navigate to the window using the menu.
Viewing System Alerts
The System Notifications window lists system events that require your attention:
Pending license expiration
Collection reached license limitations (by product—Capacity Manager, Virtualization Manager, Fabric Manager, Backup Manager)
Database events—rejected clients, ESX servers, arrays—due to license overage
Version notification—newer version of data collector software/files is available
Unable to connect for the latest software updates (proxy not configured)
To view system notifications
1. Click the badge or navigate to Admin > Advanced > System Notifications to read and acknowledge notifications.
The System Notifications window is displayed.
2. Click OK to acknowledge the list of notifications.
Clicking OK does not remove the notification. The next time you log in, the notification is displayed again, unless you suppress it (as described in To suppress or defer a notification).
Often the message is a notification that a newer software version is available for download.

A drop-down list provides options.

The notification will display in your browser until either the time period has elapsed or the problem is corrected.
