Regularly reviewing platform alerts is a key operational security task. This helps in identifying trends, recurring issues, and potential security incidents that may not have reached a critical notification threshold.
Reviewing Alerts:
Navigate to System > Alerts > Alerts to view the central alert dashboard.
Review the list of alerts, paying close attention to their Severity, Time, and the Object that generated the alert.
Use the filter options to narrow down alerts by severity (e.g., Critical, Warning), time range, or object type (e.g., Host, VM, Datastore).
Best Practice: Establish an internal procedure for acknowledging and resolving alerts. Emergency alerts should trigger an immediate incident response process.
