Search for an Alert

The search feature within the Alert module allows you to run a basic search of all columns of data for any alert. Wildcards and the Boolean operators AND and OR are not supported. You can, however, create a search using the NOT operator to find all results that do not contain a word, phrase, or number. For example, if you create an Alert Detail search and enter NOT memory in the search field, none of the alerts that appear in the results list will contain the word memory in their description.

To search for an item:

  1. Click and select Alert.
  2. On the top of the Alert screen, click the tab that corresponds to the type of alert you want to search for or leave the default All tab open to search through all alerts in the system.
  3. In the Search field, enter a word, phrase, or number combination that appears in the Devices, Applications, or Detail column for the alert you are searching for.
  4. (Optional) Use the calendar filter to restrict the date range of the alert to specific start and end dates, times, and minutes.
  5. Click Enter on your keyboard to run the search.
  6. In the results list, locate the alert you want to review, then click in the first column to expand the Detail Column to show all details.
