# Alerts

This screen is designed for high observability, allowing your team to quickly identify, prioritize, and respond to critical issues across your infrastructure.

#### The Alert List

The main dashboard displays a grid of all active and historical alerts. Here is a breakdown of the information provided in each column:

* **Provider:** Indicates the technology ecosystem the alert originated from (e.g., Zabbix, Grafana). This helps in quickly identifying the layer of the stack affected.
* **Source:** The specific user-defined integration name (configured in the ***Sources*** section). This tells you exactly which server group, region, or environment sent the alert (e.g., "Prod-DB-Cluster-01").
* **Alert:** The core message or title of the incident. This text is typically parsed from the monitoring payload to show the most relevant error description.
* **Severity:** A visual indicator of urgency (e.g., `Critical`, `Warning`, `Info`). Use this to prioritize which fires to put out first.
* **Status:** The current lifecycle state of the alert (e.g., `Firing`, `Acknowledged`, `Resolved`). This status updates in real-time as the system processes the event or as engineers take action.
* **Created At:** The exact timestamp when the alert was received by ITOC360.

#### Working with Alerts

**1. Triage & Prioritization:** Use the **Severity** column to sort the grid. High-severity incidents (like "Disaster" or "Critical") are typically highlighted to grab immediate attention.

**2. Alert Details:** Clicking on any row in the list will open the Alert Detail View.

**3. Filtering:** You can filter the list by Status to focus only on "Active" issues, removing the noise of resolved incidents from your immediate view.
