Managing Alerts

You can edit, clone, or delete alerts that you own. See User Sharing and Permissions for more information.

Edit an Alert Configuration

To edit an alert:

1. Navigate to Alerting > Manage > Alert Rules.

2. In the Actions column, click Edit to modify an alert.

   (Optional) In the Tags field:

   1. Enter or select resource tags to apply to the alert. The auto-complete suggestion shows tags you own and tags shared to your organization. Private tags associated with other users are not shown, except to organization administrators.

   2. To create a new tag inline, type a name containing up to 50 characters and click Customize tag color to select a color. A new tag is added to the shared tag list immediately, even if you abandon updating the alert.

   3. To apply an existing tag, type in the field and select it from the auto-complete suggestion results.

   4. Click Manage Resource Tags to view existing or newly created tags.

   

3. Click Save after making your edits. The changes are applied to the alert.

Newly created tags default to Everyone in my Organization (Read). Only tag owners and users with write permission can add or remove tags. See Resource Tagging Permissions for more information.

Filtering Alerts by Resource Tag

You can filter the alert list by one or more resource tags. When you select multiple tags, only alerts that have all selected tags applied are returned.

To filter alerts by resource tag:

1. Navigate to Alerting > Manage > Alert Rules.

2. Click the Filter by tag drop-down and select one or more tags. The count displayed next to each tag reflects usage for alerts only, not the total across all the supported resource types. A tag used across multiple resource types will show a different count on each resource page, depending on the resource you are viewing. The list updates to show only alerts that have all selected tags applied.

   

3. Click Clear tags to clear the filter.

Bulk Editing Tags and Permissions for Alerts

You can add resource tags and update sharing permissions across multiple alerts at once.
