By default, the Alerts dashboard shows you a summary of alert activity for the last seven days, for all target databases, in the form of charts and tables. You can filter the alerts as needed. The charts and tables are updated based on the filters that you set.

• The Alerts summary chart helps you to see the severity of the alerts quickly by comparing the percentage of critical, high, and medium risk alerts.
• The Open Alerts chart helps you to see the trend of open alerts by showing you the number of open alerts for the last seven days.
• The Top 10 alert policies by volume chart helps you see the trends in the volume of alerts generated by the top 10 alert policies, helping you identify variations over time.
• The Alerts summary tab shows you a table consisting of the number of target databases and alerts at each alert severity level (Critical, High, and Medium). It also shows totals for all alerts.
• The Targets Summary tab shows you a table consisting of alert totals for each target database. You can view the number of open alerts and the number of critical, high, and medium risk alerts.
• The Alert policy summary tab shows you a list of your alert policies, their corresponding severities, number of target databases, and number of alerts.
• The Notifications tab shows you what alert notifications and subscriptions you have created. This table will only show Alerts that you have created directly within Data Safe. In addition to displaying existing alert notifications, you can also create new notifications by using the Create notification button. See Create and Modify Event and Alarm Notifications in Alerts for more information.
