    2. For each Log Analytics alert in the Log Analytics group, the information described in the table is available.
      Table 1. Alerts in group
      Column Description
      Number The number of the alert.

      Select the number to view detailed information for an alert.

      This field is automatically set.

      Initial event generation time The time when the event that generated the alert first occurred.
      Note:
      Time here is the ServiceNow processing time, not the source system time.
      Group Type of group that the alert belongs to: a standalone Log Analytics alert or a Component-based alert.
      Description Anomalous pattern or metric that caused the alert to be generated.
      Severity Severity value for the alert. The available values are:
      • Critical: Immediate action is required. Either the resource is not functional or critical problems are imminent.
      • Major: Major functionality is severely impaired or performance has degraded.
      • Minor: Either performance has degraded or there is a partial, non-critical loss of functionality.
      • Warning: Attention is required even though the resource is still functional.
      • Info: An informational message. An alert is created, but the resource is still functional.
      • Clear or Resolved: No action is required. An alert is not created from this event. Existing alerts are closed.
      Priority group Priority group that indicates the order in which to resolve alerts. Choices are as follows:
      • Urgent
      • High
      • Moderate
      • Low

      The priority group value is more important than severity alone. For example, a high priority and low severity alert should be addressed before a low priority and high severity alert. For information on how priority is calculated, see Alert priority.

      State Processing state of the alert. A newly generated alert is in the Open state. Other states are as follows:
      • Reopen: A previously closed alert is open again, and it requires your attention.
      • Flapping: The alert is receiving identical events from the same source at high frequency. This state can cause an alert to re-open from the Closed state, resulting in a high frequency of changes between Open and Closed states.
      • Closed: The alert is closed and does not require any further action. You close an alert when it is remediated.
      Configuration item CI in the CMDB. The CI is applied to by the alert.
      Node Node field that is received in the log message. The event described in the log message occurred on this node. Often, the node is the name of the CI that is associated with the alert. For example, a computer name, IP address, FQDN, or MAC address.
      Source All Health Log Analytics alerts have the value Log Analytics in the Source column to indicate that the Health Log Analytics app generated the alert.
      Metric name Name of the metric whose anomalous behavior led to the alert. For example, the I/O request in the case that the I/O request took longer than 15000 ms to complete.
      Updated Most recent time when the alert information or state was updated.
