Alerts

The Alerts page manages Antivirus (Classic) 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 (Classic) > Machines > Alert Profiles. Different types of machines may require different alert profiles. Alert profiles are visible to all VSA users.

Note: Alert profiles created in either Antivirus (Classic) or Anti-Malware (Classic) are visible and editable in both products. If a machine is assigned an alert profile using either Antivirus (Classic) or Anti-Malware (Classic), the alert profile is assigned to both products on that machine.
