TeamQuest Alert is a system performance console that highlights the health status of a large number of heterogeneous, distributed systems. It automatically evaluates server and application performance based on built-in rules of thumb, and displays text and color performance indicators. Once a problem is detected, users can drill down to related performance information and user activity for rapid top-down analysis.
