Responding to Alerts

Once you have viewed an alert, you may take one of the following courses of action:
Leave it in active status if it is unresolved. The alert remains on the New Alerts list until you acknowledge or

delete it. If an alert already exists, the trigger for that AP or user does not create another alert until the
existing alert has been acknowledged or deleted. For example, if device AP 7 exceeds a maximum bandwidth
trigger, that trigger does not create another alert for AP 7 until the first alert is recognized.
Move the alert to the Alert Log by selecting the alert and clicking the Acknowledge button at the bottom of

the page.
You may see all logged alerts by clicking the View logged alerts link at the top of the System > Alerts page.

Click the New Alerts link to return to the list of new alerts.
Delete the alert by selecting the alert from the list and clicking the Delete button at the bottom of the

System > Alerts page.
