On the Manage Alerts page, inSync displays a high-level view of alerts, which are sorted by severity and time of generation.

The Manage Alerts page displays a high-level view of alerts. Alerts are sorted based on their severity and the grtime of generation. Each UI component is discussed in detail in its respective sections.

Alert Filters

Use alert filters to view alerts of specific severity and type. You can also filter an alert just by its type to view its status. The filters are list boxes on the Manage Alerts page labeled All Severity and All Types by default.

Based on your selection, the alerts are filtered on the Recent or Older tab, whichever is active. The severity filter also filters the alert types list, and only the relevant alert types are displayed in the alert types list for selection.

The following table shows the severity and the relevant alert types.

Alerts of severity as Notifications are not included in the table as they are not displayed on the Recent and Older tabs, and hence cannot be filtered.


šŸ“ Note

Filters do not have any effect on the information displayed on the widgets. However, widgets are hidden when you use filters. You can click on the blue icon to display the widgets again.


Search by Source

Use Search by Source to search alerts generated for a specific source. The search applies to the Recent and Older tabs.

Note that when you perform Search by Source, the widgets are hidden.

To cancel your search, click the red cross.

Widgets

Widgets display a high-level view of the alerts. You get an instant view of alerts based on severity, type and when they were created. The statistics displayed on the widgets are cumulative and do not include mute alerts as well as alerts of severity as Notification. Thus, the widget statistics may change when you mute or unmute an alert.

Widgets appear empty initially when alerts are yet to be generated. This is observed when the installation is new and inSync is yet to generate an alert.

Each widget is explained in the following table:

Widget name

Description

Summary

Alert_Widget_Summary1.png

If the type of alerts are less than five, corresponding number of bars are displayed.

Alert Activities by Days

Alert_Widget_AlertActivityByDays1.png

Displays a bar chart of alerts generated over time. The count is split for alerts created between 0 to 6 days, 7 to 13 days and 14 to 30 days. The bars are further color coded based on the severity. Mouse over the bars to view the respective alert counts. A count of alerts older than 30 days is displayed on the top right corner of the widget.

Recent and Older tabs
