Check whether alerts are turned on for a Web Application

Even, if a user has an alert created for a list or list item or any other kind of alert, the alerts need to be turned on for the particular web application from the Central Admin.

How do we check whether it is turned on or not?

• Go to Central Admin -> Application Management -> Manage Web Applications
• Select the Web Application and select General Settings option from the tool bar
• Make sure "Alerts on this server are "Tuned On"

Hope this helps someone
