Field	Description
Alert name	Name of the alert. Note that only alphanumeric and a single space between words are allowed.
Saved search	List of available saved search you have created.
Metric	The metric for which you want to trigger an alert. The threshold is matched with the metric's real-time value. For more information about the supported metrics for each capability, see Supported metrics for alerts. Note: The following fields are displayed based on the metrics you have selected.
Aggregation type	The options available for this drop-down are based on the metric you select in the Metric drop-down list. For the available options, see Aggregation type options.
Operator	Select greater or lesser than, equal to, greater than or equal to, or lesser than or equal to.
Threshold value	Select a threshold value. Alerts are triggered if the value over the given period is greater than or equal to the threshold you select.
Time period	The length of time for which the alert is evaluated. Note: When there is a latency between the agent and backend communications, alerts configured for one minute may have some accuracy issues.
Recovery period	An open alert is marked as closed if there are no new breaches after it reaches the specified period
Silence period	The time during which alerts are not triggered.
Notification channels	The list of configured notification channels. You can select multiple notification channels that are available. If you haven't added a notification channel yet, click Create new channel. For more informaiton about adding notification channels, see step 4 for adding an email notification channel, or see step 4 for adding a slack channel, or see step 4 for adding a webhook notification channel.
Alert tags	Enter a key and value for an alert tag. The best practice for naming a key would be the capability name followed by the application name at the backend. For example, Analytics-Count where Analytics is the capability name and Count is the service name. The value would be the name of the metrics followed by the capability. For example value-LM, where value is the metrics and Analytics is the capability name.
