If you want to track the current status of event alerts that are
assigned to you, you can use the Visualizer to change the status or add status
comments to the event alerts. You cannot edit status comments that are already
on event alerts, but you can add an additional comment. For example, you could
change the status of an event alert from assigned to closed, and add comments
to explain why you closed the alert investigation.
Procedure:
- In the Visualizer, in the Alert Summary window,
click on the event alert summary containing the alert that you want to update.
- From the results section (bottom) of the Alert Summary window,
double-click an event alert, whose status you want to change.
- In the Event Alert window, click the Set
Status button.
- In the Set Status dialog, do the following:
- From the Select the action you want to perform drop-down
list, select Set Status. If you do not see
the status that you want to select, contact your system administrator to arrange
to configure the status. A corresponding activity code displays
in the Select Activity Code drop-down box.
- Select another the activity code, if desired, from the Select
Activity Code drop-down box. If you do not see the
activity code that you want to select, contact your system administrator to
arrange to configure the activity code.
- Enter comments or notes in the Comments text
box, if you want to. For example, you might choose to enter comments
about why you are changing the status, or include notes about your analysis
of this event alert.
- Click the OK button to save your changes.
The updated status that you specified now displays in the Alert
Summary window and the Event Alert window.
