You can view alerts for information about cluster faults or errors in the system. Alerts can be information, warnings, or errors and are a good indicator of how well the cluster is running. Most errors resolve themselves automatically.
You can use the ListClusterFaults API method to automate alert monitoring. This enables you to be notified about all alerts that occur.
