The symptoms tab includes all the symptoms triggered for the current object. Use the symptom list to identify problems with an object so that you can resolve alerts generated for the object.

How the Symptoms Work

The list is the active triggered symptoms for an object, either as part of a generated alert or as a triggered symptom that is not included in an alert. This complete symptom list is useful for identifying problems that occur on an object but are not currently included in your alert definitions.

Click a symptom in the list to display the symptom details. An arrow in each column heading enables you to order the list in ascending or descending order. You can select multiple rows in the list using Shift+click, Control+click.
