User Guide

Manage alerts using the InfoSec app for Splunk

Use the Alerts dashboard to investigate and manage alerts raised by the InfoSec app for Splunk.

Alerts are scheduled searches that run frequently to look for matching events within your data. You can drill-down to the current alerts defined within the InfoSec app and modify or add to them through this dashboard. Consider using the Alert Manager app with the InfoSec app to improve your alert management framework.

You can save any search that you create within the Splunk platform as an alert. All alerts need to include a search schedule. When creating an alert, select the time during which a search can be run. Selecting the cron schedule allows you to set the scheduled frequency as often as every minute.

Do not set up alerts by scheduling a real-time search.
