Designed for network operation centers' wallboards and displays, the Alerts Viewer shows alerts, based on time received, in descending order. Audible cues can be configured to notify operators that new alerts have arrived. The Alerts Viewer is a reference tool that provides read-only information and is not useful for investigating alerts.
You can display between 10 and 1,000 alerts in the Alerts Viewer.
Operators using the Alerts Viewer must belong to a role that grants them access to Alerts Viewer. See Adding a Role to a User Account.
