Veritas NetBackup™ OpsCenter Administrator's Guide

Filtering by alert type

Since the Monitor > Alerts view can include large numbers of alerts, a filter is available. You can use this filter to limit the types of alerts that appear.

You can filter on various severity levels or status settings, which lets you focus on only the specific alerts that interest you. For example, you can create and apply a filter that only displays the alerts that are acknowledged.

You can filter using any of the following built-in alert filters. These filters are available from the drop-down list which is present on top of the alert details table.

Active (default filter)

Select this filter to view Active alerts. This filter does not include the alerts that have been cleared.

Critical

Select this filter to only view the alerts whose severity is Critical.

Major

Select this filter to only view the alerts whose severity is Major.

Warning

Select this filter to only view the alerts whose severity is Warning.

Informational

Select this filter to only view the alerts whose severity is Informational.

Unassigned

Select this filter to only view the alerts that have not been assigned to anybody.

Assigned

Select this filter to only view the alerts that have been assigned to other OpsCenter users.

Acknowledged

Select this filter to only view the alerts that have been acknowledged by an OpsCenter user.

Cleared

Select this filter to only view the alerts that have been cleared.

More information on cleared alerts is available.

See Responding to alerts .

All Alerts

Select this filter to view the details of all alerts. This filter includes both active alerts and cleared alerts.

In addition to the built-in filters, you can create your own custom filters.

See Creating, applying, editing, and removing custom view filters.

To filter details by type of alert
