How to modify the maximum alerts per alert profile in EventLog Analyzer

Objective

EventLog Analyzer allows administrators to control the number of alerts triggered by a single alert profile each day. This helps avoid alert overload, reduce system strain, and ensure that only relevant alerts are generated by preventing alert storms caused by broad or misconfigured alert rules.

Prerequisite

  1. Ensure the user account has been assigned the necessary role or privileges to access the Product Settings module.

Steps to follow

Step 1: Navigate to Settings > Admin Settings > Product Settings > Product Configuration.
Step 2: Locate the field labeled Maximum Alerts per Profile.
Step 3: Enter the desired number of alerts that can be triggered by a single profile in a day.
Step 4: Click Save to apply the changes.

Tips

  • The default value is 10,000 alerts per alert profile per day, and it can be increased up to 100,000.
  • High alert volumes:
    • Can flood the system with low-priority data.
    • Make it difficult to identify and manage critical alerts.
    • May prevent timely action on important alerts due to volume overload.
  • In most cases, lowering the threshold (e.g., 500–1,000 alerts/day) improves:
    • Alert relevance and clarity
    • Operational focus
    • Overall alert management efficiency
  • Regularly review and fine-tune alert thresholds based on alert trends and real-time monitoring needs.
