Creating quick filters

You can use quick filters as a fast way of displaying alerts that match a selected criteria. For example, you can quickly display only those alerts that occurred at the same time as, or before, a selected alert. A quick filter is applied via the right-click context menu. Quick filters when applied are merged into the filter side panel together with the base filter selection.

  1. Click the navigation icon at the upper-left corner of the screen to go to the main navigation menu.

  2. In the main navigation menu, click Operate > Alerts.

  3. Right-click on any column or cell in the Alert Viewer, then select Quick Filter and choose from the following operators:

    • Equals
    • Does not equal
    • Contains
    • Does not contain

    The Insights columns for Part of an incident, Runbooks, and Topology can be filtered using the Contains operator.
