WebSphere Dashboard Framework comes with a pre-defined alert definition that defines how annotations are handled if they are flagged as alerts.
The annotation alert definition is stored in the WEB-INF/solutions/alerting/xml_persistence/alert_defs/annotation folder.
The file is named Annotation_Alert.xml. Use the Manage Alerts portlet to see the annotation alert definition.
