How to Create an Alert Logging Latency Report
Updated: May 13, 2016
Applies To: System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager, System Center 2012 - Operations Manager, System Center 2012 SP1 - Operations Manager
The following procedure is an example of how you create an alert logging latency report for a managed computer. An alert logging latency report shows you how much time it took from when an alert was generated until it was written into the Operations Manager database. An alert is not displayed in the Operations console until after it is written into the Operations Manager database. Alert latency can be a function of network delays in your environment.
This information is useful when considering service level agreements (SLA). You might not want to commit to an SLA of 2 minutes if alerts take longer than that to get written into the Operations Manager database.
Note
Operations Manager Reporting must be installed before you can run an alert logging latency report.
