Alerts are stored, live queries that continuously run and are triggered when user-set parameters are met or exceeded and users want to be notified, or when action must be taken. No more relying on routine checks, or worrying about not immediately detecting a problem when it occurs.

Actions are modules that can perform functions like informing administrators of a potential server problem. Alerts can also be set to trigger Actions.

Scheduled Searches are static queries, set to run on a schedule. At a scheduled interval, the query will run. If there is a result, the scheduled search will trigger its associated actions. For more information, see our documentation at Scheduled Searches for more information.
