Managing Alerts

Alerts provide insight on the current state of the devices across your network. You can view all alerts across devices in your network from the Dashboard or Alerts tab. For more information about the different types of threats and alerts, see Threat and Alert Types.

Removing Alerts

You may wish to hide alerts that are not important in your specific network type. There are two options: dismissing and muting.

Dismissing Alerts

This option will dismiss an alert for a time, which will update your device status as well. You will not be able to view your dismissed alerts; however, the next time a risk check is run on the device, the alert may reappear.

1. On the Dashboard or Devices page, click the drop-down arrow beside an alert in the devices list
2. Click Dismiss

Muting Alerts

This option will mute an alert for the selected length of time, which will update your device status as well.

1. On the Devices page, click the drop-down arrow beside an alert in the devices list
2. Select one of the following:
   • Mute for 7 days
   • Mute for 30 days
   • Mute for 90 days
3. To unmute an alert, click the crossed-out bell symbol beside the alert in the devices list, then click either Unmute or Unmute this alert on all devices
