This page displays details regarding the events that triggered the selected 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.

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

Time Alerted

Alert Type

Displays ‘Email, SNMP, or WMI’ for the type of alert that was generated.

Alerted

Indicates whether the alert was successfully sent: Yes or No.

Description

Message

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.
