I have some systems that are still using this, wanted do see what is a
solid replacement product or feature for this today, watch sessions, 3rd
party tool, etc.

Alerts are still there in all their former glory, so far as I

taking a look.

I'm interested in how you have used them in the past, and what you
find now.

I am quite sure that nobody, now in 2013, is still using alerts in
their SNA behavior (sphere of control, primary and backup focal points,
and so on ...). However, alerts are still an interesting feature to
capture events. Remember that the system creates an alert each time a
message queue defined to accept alerts, receives a message with a
message description properly set to create alerts. Through an alert
filter you can request the system to send, for each or a selection of
alerts, an entry to a data-queue (and write your own tool to handle
this data-queue) or to create an snmp trap for example.

Years ago there was a function to setup alerts where systems
could communicate etc for errors/problems. As time has marched
on, what has taken the place of this.
