Alert Trends Report
Last updated on 20 March, 2023Overview
The Alert Trends report displays the number of alerts that occurred during a given time period for one or more resources or resource groups. You may find this report useful if you’d like to keep an eye on which resources or groups of resources are generating the most alerts. If applicable, you could then use this information to tune the thresholds for particular resources to reduce the number of alerts generated.
