Checking resource status and alert severity

Once you set up resources, OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge Explorer give you a visual indication to the general status of each resource monitor by using a small, colored icon. Each of the icons in the Resource Status list corresponds to a particular status.
Note: It is possible for a resource to have a Pass status, as indicated by a green status icon, when the resource still has open alerts. This status indicates that the resource passed on the last poll but failed at some point in the past.
Similarly, the Alert severity list corresponds to a severity warning status.
The following table briefly describes what each status/color combination represents.
Table 2. Resource status legend 
Status
Color
Description
Pass
Green
The resource monitor is currently working
Fail
Red
The most recent test involving the resource failed. This includes statuses such as tardy, timeout, and unreachable.
Select Alerts or the specific monitor for possible alert details.
This status can also identify an internal error that prevents the resource from being monitored.
Running
Green
The resource is currently running
Not Running
Blue
The resource is currently not running. This status is particularly informative as it applies to resources such as databases that must be operating before you can monitor them.
Since databases have operational dependencies, the state of the AdminServer, database broker, or agent can cause a Not Running status to be generated for a database or off-line AdminServer.
Not Checked
Yellow
The resource monitor's status is currently unknown. For example, at system startup, it is possible that the resource has not yet been polled.
Disabled
Black
The resource monitor has been disabled and is not currently monitoring a resource
Inactive
White
There is no active monitoring plan at this time
Offline
Gray
The resource is currently offline
