The meta alert feature enables you to create a save a group of filtered alerts. Like
the group feature, you can group filtered alerts that pertain to an incident. However, with
meta alert, you can save your grouping, creating a system entity, to view it later. Also, when
you filter alerts, if a relevant alert is contained in a meta alert, the entire meta alert
will be included in the filter results.
- Click one of the groups listed by Group By.
The Alerts table view changes to a tree view listing the
values of the groups.
- Use the Search and GroupBy options to create one
or more groups containing alerts on which you want to focus.
- When you have selected a group of alerts that you want to focus on, click
(meta alert icon), then confirm that you wish to create a meta alert with the
selected alerts.
The meta alert disappears from the tree view. You can still see the meta alert in
the alerts table view.

alert row.
-
Click the current meta alert name at the top of the panel and enter your new
