Alert History page

The Alert History page is accessed by selecting an alert enabled search, right-clicking and selecting Alert | History. This page displays details regarding the events that triggered the selected SMTP alert, including the time the alert was triggered, if the alert was successfully sent, a description of the event that triggered the alert and, if applicable, an error message stating the alert was not sent.

* 
NOTE: Regardless of the alert state (enabled or disabled) the alert history for an alert-enabled search is always available until it is removed using Alert | Delete History.

The data grid on this page contains the following information for each event that triggered an alert:

View alert history

For each enabled alert, two additional context menu commands become available whenever you right-click an alert-enabled search definition on the Searches page: Alert | History and Alert | Delete History.

* 
NOTE: The Alert | History and Alert | Delete History right-click commands are available for any search that has ever had an alert enabled in the current product version, regardless of its current state. These commands are not available for disabled alerts, only after the alert history has been deleted using Alert | Delete History.
To view the alerts triggered for a search:
1
On the Searches page, select an alert-enabled search definition, right-click, expand the Alert command and select History.
This opens a new Alert History page, which displays details regarding the alerts triggered for the selected search.
To delete alert history:
1
On the Searches page, select an alert-enabled search, right-click, expand the Alert command and select e Delete History.
This clears the alert history for the selected alert.
* 
NOTE: Change Auditor deletes alerts in batches of 1000, so the alert history will not be immediately cleared; however, refreshing the screen will show the number of alerts decreasing.
