Resolution

These are just alarms from iDash SLA for that job.

By default, it can only insert alarms into the DB. You can also set up sendevents and commands to send the AE server through the legacy clients, but those would only be done manually, by an operator. It would not be done by iDash itself. iDash is really meant only to monitor what the instance does, not to control it.
