Filtering Alerts
You can filter the alerts that are displayed in the Alerts tab according to the severity of the alert, whether
the alert was acknowledged or resolved, and the source ID of the alert.
To filter alerts
1. Select a fabric, switch, or the entire SAN in the View Panel, as described in “Monitoring Alerts” on
page 7-1.
You cannot filter the switch group alerts.
2. Click the Alerts tab in the Information Panel.
3. Select the filters at the top of the table to narrow down the information that displays in the Alerts
tab.
• Severity Select Severity level to display only alerts of that severity.
• Acked Select Yes or No to display only alerts that are acknowledged or not.
• Resolved Select Yes or No to display only alerts that are resolved or not.
• Source ID Type the IP address of a switch to display alerts only for that switch. You can
use the “*” character as a wildcard character.
Selecting Any in the drop-down lists causes that attribute to be ignored. For example, to display all
unresolved, critical alerts, regardless of whether they have been acknowledged, set Severity to
Critical, set Resolved to No, and set Acked to Any.
4. Click Filter.
The Alerts tab displays only the alerts match the filter you set up. To clear the filter and view the
entire list of alerts, click Show All.
