On the top of any screen in the system, the number of Unseen alerts is displayed near the bell. 
To view all Alerts triggered in the system
- In the left navigation panel, click the Findings icon
OR - On the top right corner of any screen in the system, click the Alerts bell.
Alerts Table
The Alerts table presents alerts triggered in the system sorted by date, from the newest to the oldest.
When a triggered alert meets the Mute condition configured in a Findings rule, the alert is muted, meaning there is no notification of the alert.
- By default, Hide muted alerts is toggled on, meaning that unmuted alerts only are displayed.
- Toggle off Hide muted alerts to display both unmuted and muted alerts.
The Alerts table provides the following information:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Status | The status of the alert. Available statuses: Unseen, Open, In Progress, Closed, Canceled Note: When you open an Unseen alert from the Alerts table or from Rules Manager> Rule drawer> Alerts History table, the alert status changes to Open. |
| Alert ID | ID number of the alert. Table is sortable by Alert ID. Note: Each time an alert is triggered in the system, it is assigned an ID number in sequential order. |
| Rule Name | The name of the rule that triggered the alert. |
| Severity | The alert severity. The severity of a Findings alert is equivalent to the severity of the rule that triggered it. The severity of alerts from other sources is fixed per source and is not user configurable. Available options are: Informational, Low, Medium, High, Critical |
| Message | The system message that notified about the alert. Hover over the tooltip to display a detailed description of the alert. |
| Date and Time | The timestamp in UTC time that the alert was triggered. |
| Check and Notify | The frequency that the rule checks the entity. Relevant for Findings Center alerts only. N/A for Enforcement Center alerts. |
| Source | The source of the alert (for example, Findings Center, Enforcement Center). Learn more about the various alert sources. |
| Mute Status | Muted or Unmuted. When Hide muted alerts above the table is toggled on (the default), only unmuted alerts are displayed. |
