In the MOM 2005 Operator Console views, the View Toolbar has a Calendar icon. This tool allows you to set the Date and Time Filter. It defaults to 7 days.
I noticed a computer had a warning status in the State view, but did not see an alert for the computer. Once I changed the date filter to 20 days....The alert showed up.
