Managing alerts

Change an alert

You can change an alert's filter, threshold, and settings at any point after creating the alert.

  1. Click on the Statistics header and click Alerts to access the view.

  2. Click an alert's contextual menu , and click Configure to open the Alert Configuration.

  3. Modify the chosen parameters of the alert as outlined in Create an alert.

  4. Click Save.

Clone an alert

You can clone an alert and create a near-identical copy of it. The cloned alert inherits most of its source's settings, but it has a different name (starts with "Copy of") and is in the Disabled state. Cloning is useful, for example, when you need a backup copy before making changes.

📘

If prepending the alert name with "Copy of" makes the name longer than 50 characters, WSA truncates the name at the end automatically to keep it 50 characters long.

  1. Click on the Statistics header and click Alerts to access the view.

  2. Click an alert's contextual menu , and click Clone.

  3. A message New alert added successfully appears.

Delete an alert

You can delete alerts you no longer need. This can help you clean up your alert list of unused alerts.

  1. Click on the Statistics header and click Alerts to access the view.

  2. Click an alert's contextual menu , and click Delete.

📘

This action is irreversible but you can view the deleted alerts and their triggers for up to 31 days after deletion.
