Editing an alert group

After creating an alert group, you can make changes to the alert group configuration.

To simply edit the display name of the alert group, then:
  1. On the Alerts component edit view, double-click the group name.

    The group name becomes editable.

  2. Type the new name, then press Enter.

To change the order in which the alert groups are displayed, drag each alert group to the correct location in the list.

To make more significant changes to an alert group:

  1. On the Alerts component edit view, click the edit icon for the alert group.

    The Edit alert group dialog is displayed.

  2. Make the required changes.

    If you change the selected data source, then you must retest and reload the EQL query.

    Studio preserves as much of the alert group configuration as possible. For example, if the updated query uses the same metrics value, then the metrics formatting is preserved.

  3. To save the changes, click Save.
