Gets alerts marked for the monitoring connector, for each tiered Management Group. The retrieved array is limited to the batchSize parameter. The failures that occurred for the configured tiers are returned along with the alerts. Namespace: Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ConnectorFramework
Assembly: Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.OperationsManager (in microsoft.enterprisemanagement.operationsmanager.dll)

Usage

Visual Basic
Dim instance As MonitoringConnector
Dim batchSize As Integer
Dim failures As IList(Of ConnectorTieredOperationFailure)
Dim returnValue As ReadOnlyCollection(Of ConnectorMonitoringAlert)

returnValue = instance.GetMonitoringAlertsForTiers(batchSize, failures)

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Function GetMonitoringAlertsForTiers ( _
		batchSize As Integer, _
		<OutAttribute> ByRef failures As IList(Of ConnectorTieredOperationFailure) _
) As ReadOnlyCollection(Of ConnectorMonitoringAlert)
C#
public ReadOnlyCollection<ConnectorMonitoringAlert> GetMonitoringAlertsForTiers (
		int batchSize,
		out IList<ConnectorTieredOperationFailure> failures
)
C++
public:
ReadOnlyCollection<ConnectorMonitoringAlert^>^ GetMonitoringAlertsForTiers (
		int batchSize, 
		[OutAttribute] IList<ConnectorTieredOperationFailure^>^% failures
)
J#
public ReadOnlyCollection<ConnectorMonitoringAlert> GetMonitoringAlertsForTiers (
		int batchSize, 
		/** @attribute OutAttribute() */ /** @ref */ IList<ConnectorTieredOperationFailure> failures
)
JScript

Parameters

batchSize

The approximate max batch size to return.

failures

The array of failures that may have occurred for various tiers

Return Value

An array of ConnectorMonitoringAlert objects that contain the alerts for the specified monitoring connector.

Remarks

This method will only retrieve up to the number of alerts that are specified by the batchSize parameter. This limitation allows you to perform the get monitoring alerts operation in small batches, thereby avoiding a time-out failure.

This method only gets alerts that are marked for the monitoring connector from the bookmark time to the current time less 30 seconds.

It is good practice to limit the number of alerts obtained by a single call. When you perform this GetMonitoringAlertsForTiers method you should check to see if the count property of the returned collection equals or exceeds the batchSize. If the count property of the returned collection equals or exceeds the batchSize then you should acknowledge the alerts received, and call this function again to get the next batch of alerts. Only when the returned collection is smaller than the batchSize can you be sure that you have received all of the alerts.

After you retrieve the monitoring alert, you need to acknowledge that alert with an AcknowledgeMonitoringAlerts, or one of the overloaded methods. Failure to acknowledge an alert will result in subsequent calls to get new alerts returning the already received alerts.

This method only gets alerts that are marked for the monitoring connector from the bookmark time to the current time less 30 seconds.
