View alerts in Splunk Observability Cloud
Learn how to view currently active alerts on the Alerts page or in the Infrastructure Navigator.
Alerts are highly relevant to the health of your services and applications. Splunk Observability Cloud shows alerts in all places where they matter, so that you don’t miss on important information.
You can view active alerts on the Alerts page, from charts and detectors, or access them from APM.
You can also view alerts from navigators, or use alerts to view navigators.
Review all active alerts in your organization
To review all the active alerts in your organization, go to Alerts. The Active Alerts tab shows the number of active alerts at each severity level, from critical to informative.
The table lists all active alerts matching the conditions you’ve entered. If a notification for an alert is muted, a notifications muted label is shown next to the alert.
To see more details about the alert, select its rule name and source in the table. In the details dialog box, you can select Resolve the alert, open the detector that triggered the alert, and explore related items.
Filter alerts to reduce noise
You can select any of the alert counters to filter alerts by the corresponding severity level. You can also use Filter to show only alerts that are relevant to specific tags or dimensions.
To filter by service, endpoint, environment, or business workflow, set the APM Filters.
Group alerts by properties or dimensions
Use Group by to group active alerts by one or more properties. For example, you can group alerts by host first, followed by the AWS region. When you select two levels, hierarchical grouping is also applied to the list.
See which alerts are active for a detector
To view active alerts for a detector, go to the Detectors tab in Alerts and select a detector.
To open a detector, select its name. When you open a detector, a counter for each alert rule shows the number of active alerts that apply to the detector.
Select any of the counters to view a list of active alerts for that rule. If there are multiple filters in the view, you can remove any of them to see a wider range of alerts for that detector.
Identify alerts from your charts
You can view alerts from charts or in the Infrastructure Navigator by browsing related detectors.
-
Open the Detector menu by clicking the bell icon at the top right corner of a chart.
-
Select an active alert or hover over a detector and select View Active Alerts to see all active alerts for that detector.
Find which service has active alerts in APM
To view active alerts for the services you’re monitoring in APM, go to APM. Active alerts appear in the Services and the Business Workflows tabs under each service name.
