Overview

Getting alerts from managed OSGi devices is possible only for devices which have the AlertService running. See the OSGi Device Alert document from Conceptual Guide for more details.

Device Alerts

Device Alerts feature of the console shows a list of the alerts risen for the selected OSGi device. It is hidden by default.
To activate it go to "Settings" on the console dashlet, the "Preferences" menu opens. Choose "Device Management" and select "Device Alerts" in the "Hide sections" filed.
Click the "Remove" button. Apply the configuration and confirm with "OK".
"Restore Defaults" hides the section from the console.
