Searching, sorting, and filtering alerts on the Alerts page

How to find alerts on the Alerts page

Updated over 2 months ago

The alerts table

The columns in the table are:

  • Occurred at – The date and time the alert happened

  • Type - The kind of alert: Account Takeover, Potential Threat, User reported email

  • Account - The name of the account the alert happened to

  • Description - A longer description of the alert, including what email address was involved, if applicable.

  • Actions - A link that takes you to remediation for the alert.

Selecting a time frame lets you exclude alerts that didn't occur during the time you want to look at. Sorting the table means the rows are reordered by the contents of the column. Filtering the table hides irrelevant data based on the conditions you define. Searching hides rows in the table that don't contain the email address you enter.

You can combine selecting a time frame, sorting the table, filtering the table, and also searching, to focus on the alerts you want.

Selecting a time frame

You can set the time period the table two ways:

  • By selecting the time frame

  • By selecting a start date and end date

The available time frames are:

  • Last 24 hours

  • Last 3 days

  • Last 7 days

  • Last 30 days

  • Last 90 days

  • Last 3 years

  • Custom

  • All time

If you select a custom start and end date, the time frame is set to Custom automatically.

Searching emails in the Description column

You can use the Search box to search for email addresses that have been affected by certain alerts. For example, if you type Example@BarracudaONE.com, the Description column is searched for Account takeover and User reported email alerts that include that email.

The search box only searches the Description column at this time, and Potential threat (Post delivery) alerts aren't included in the search.

Sorting and filtering the table

Unlike searching and filtering, sorting the table doesn't hide any alerts in the table. Sorting the table only reorders the table with the alerts you want to see at the top of the table.

You can filter alerts to help you focus on the alerts that are most important to you.

To select a time frame

  2. Do one of the following:

    • In Time frame, select an option.

    • In Start date, select a date, then, in End date, select a date.

The table updates automatically.

To search the description for an email address

Only the Description column is searched, and only email addresses that appear in Account takeover and User reported email alerts are searched.

  • Boolean operators

  • Wildcard characters
