Modify an Alert Query

You can change the trigger of a saved alert query, and enable or disable the notifications that the query sends.

Note

Alert queries are user specific. You can manage only your own alerts.

Content pack alert queries are read-only. To save changes to a content pack alert, you have to save the alert to your custom content.

Prerequisites

■	Verify that you are logged in to the vRealize Log Insight Web user interface. The URL format is https://`log_insight-host`, where `log_insight-host` is the IP address or host name of the vRealize Log Insight virtual appliance.
■	Verify that an administrator has configured SMTP to enable email notifications. See Configure the SMTP Server for Log Insight.
■	Verify that an administrator has configured the connection between vRealize Log Insight and vRealize Operations Manager to enable alert integration. See Configure Log Insight to Send Notification Events to vRealize Operations Manager.

Procedure

Navigate to the Interactive Analytics tab.

From the menu on the right of the Search button, click and select Manage Alerts.

In the Alerts list, click the alert query that you want to modify, and change the query parameters as needed.

Note

If you deselect both notification options, the alert query is disabled.

Save your changes.
