View a list of all detectors

To see a list of existing detectors, open the Detectors & SLOs page and select the Detectors tab.

• By default, detectors are sorted by last updated, with the most recently updated detector at the top. To reverse the sorting order or sort detectors by a different criterion, select the corresponding column header.

• Detectors with issues are indicated by a warning triangle icon. Hover over the icon to see the issue.

• Detectors show the number of associated active alerts by severity level under the Active alerts column. Select a number to see all active alerts detail for a certain detector.

• Detectors with active or scheduled muting rules directly applied to them have a muting indicator. If a detector is muted but the muting rule applies only to the detector's properties, the detector doesn't have a muting indicator.

Filter the detectors list

• To filter detectors by assigned teams, select the Team menu and select or enter the team name you want to find.

• To filter detectors by origin, select the Origin menu. You can filter detector by the following origins:

  • Standard: User-created detectors, including all RUM, APM, Synthetics, and custom detectors.

  • AutoDetect: Read-only detectors Splunk Observability Cloud automatically creates when you configure supported integrations. To learn more, see Intro to AutoDetect alerts and detectors.

  • Customized AutoDetect: AutoDetect detectors that you copy and customize. To learn more, see Use and customize AutoDetect alerts and detectors.

• To filter detectors by issues, select the Issues menu. You can filter detectors by the following issues:

  • Archive metrics: Detectors using archive metrics might misfire alerts or stop alerting.

  • MTS limit exceeded: Detectors exceeding MTS monitoring limit might not trigger or might trigger incorrectly. To learn more, see Maximum number of MTS per detector data() function.

• To filter detectors by tags, enter the tags you want to find. Each entry must be an exact match. For example, searching for abc doesn't return results for abcd.

View detectors linked to a chart

In dashboards and navigators, you can link detectors and view detectors linked to a chart. Linking detectors helps ensure that everyone in your organization is using the same detectors to monitor the same data.

To add or view linked detectors, select the bell icon in a chart.

e following illustration shows two linked detectors for this chart. If you hover over a linked detector, you see options that let you view active alerts, open the detector for viewing and editing, subscribe to the detector by adding a new notification, or edit linked detectors for the chart.

View an individual detector

Custom detectors and other standard detectors have different views.

View custom and APM detectors

When you open a custom or APM detector, you can see a summary chart and a detailed chart. The summary chart shows the data over a longer period of time. Short spikes are not visible in the summary chart. The detailed chart shows each data point at the native resolution of the detector and represents exactly the data points that the detector sees. The yellow box controls which part of the summary chart displays in the detail chart. You can see a short-term spike in the detail view by dragging the yellow box to the area where the alert fired.

The resolution of data displayed is determined by the detector's time range. The detail view displays data at the detector's resolution, the frequency at which the detector evaluates the signal. Any events occurring during the detector's time range are shown under the X axis.

The Alert Rules tab is open when you open a detector, showing a chart that represents values for the visible signals. The list of detector rules and the number of currently active alerts for each rule are visible. To learn more, see See which alerts are active for a detector. For information on creating rules, see Create alert rules for your detector or Configure detectors and alerts in Splunk APM, depending on the type of detector.

View RUM and Synthetics detectors

When you open a RUM or Synthetics detector, you can see alert configurations and a summary chart for the detector's data.

To learn more about RUM detectors, see Alert on Splunk RUM data.

To learn more about Synthetics detectors, see Detectors and alerts.
