System Alerts

System alerts are triggered by rules. An action is triggered when the condition defined in the rule is met, and the corresponding alert is displayed on the Alerts page.

The System Alerts dashboard is available from the Alerts button in the upper-right corner of the dashboard pages. By default, it displays the most-recent 120 live alerts. The alerts are stored on the SPM Server, and snapshot and streaming queries are available on them.

For each alert that you select in the Alerts table, you see detailed information of the alert below the table.
