Alerts
In the [Alerts] menu there is a table with a list of all triggered alerts.
The Sycope system includes many predefined Alerts created by a team of cybersecurity experts. This menu contains a table with a list of triggered Alerts that have been defined in the System. If the table is empty it means that no Alerts have been triggered. Alert parameters are configured in the menu [Configuration > Rules].
Introduction
At the top of the window is the standard search bar, time ranges menu, etc. These elements are described in User Interface. Above the table there is a time chart in which the number of triggered alerts in a unit of time is shown in the form of bars.
By default, the Alerts table displays 9 columns, but you can change which columns should be visible by using the drop-down menu.
