Alerts

Antivirus > Configuration > Alerts

The Alerts page manages Antivirus alert profiles. Each alert profile represents a different set of alert conditions and actions taken in response to an alert. Multiple alert profiles can be assigned to the same endpoint. Changes to an alert profile affect all machine IDs assigned that alert profile. An alert profile is assigned to machine IDs using Antivirus > Machines > Alert Profiles. Different types of machines may require different alert profiles. Alert profiles are visible to all VSA users.

Note: Alert profile creation and configuration are shared between both Antivirus and Anti-Malware. Alert profile assignment is not shared. You must assign the alert profile to each machine separately in both modules.
