Alert Dashboard

This dashboard provides an overview of current and historical alert conditions. It provides a more detailed drilldown view that enables you to actively manage the alerts. Each chart on the dashboard is a report briefly explained in the sections below.

Note:

If the exported report or dashboard contains a generic placeholder chart image, the chart export feature on your system has been disabled. See the Remove "PhantomJS" from IT Analytics Portal tech note for further details.

Alert Summary

This is a donut chart that displays all alerts by the Alert Policy, with drilldown to Alert Detail. You can filter the report by object types and alert rules.

Alert Trend

The bar chart displays all current alerts by alert type for a selected time period. You can filter the report by object type and alert rules or drill down to the Alert Summary History and view the alerts by policy.

Alert Summary History

Graphic representation of all historical alerts by Alert Policy. You can filter the report by object types and alert rules. Drill down to the Alert Detail History to view all alerts within the policy. Comparing this with the Alert Summary report lets you evaluate how the current alert breakdown compares to the historical.

Critical Alerts

Use this report to view objects with alerts triggered by thresholds set in the Alert Policy. Drilldown to view root causes for the alert.
